PoliHale State Park
So you travel back towards the Leeward coast....becoming a very uninviting dirt road which takes you past various fields of some sort of farm land and of course all sorts of signs in reference to the missile defense base which is tucked away deep in the corner of this island, this is the place that the Satellite was shot down from....interesting.
Anywhoo
Eventually I find my way despite no trespassing signs, hidden cameras and strange service roads finally figuring out my way.....which I actually have to admit, I came her before and couldn't find the right road.....so I turned back and went to a bar, had a couple brews talked to some folks who told me that "oh yeah it is a horrible horrible dirt road you have to go down, yeah it's the one you would never think to go down especially with a rental car"
with those words of wisdom I was off....with the rental car....F it...I heard this is one of the cooler places on the island....and it delievered...of course my car did bottom out every few feet and it took forever to get down this two mile road....but then i'm up to my neck in sand and careful not to ditch my car I parked quite a distance away from the beach....past the sand dunes.
Holy cow.....on the Right the Na Pali coast...and the cliffs and the beauty that is those mountains....on the Left miles of beach...huge sprawling sand dunes like Cape Cod...all sorts of all terrain vehicles littered the beach.....
I chilled out grabbed a couple of Rolling Rocks, gave a thought to the old man and poured one out for him and really enjoyed the surf....
Later I would fly over this beach and see "big fish" a large group of hump back whales having family time together.
Great spot...a must find if you ever get the chance on Kauai.
