 Polihale means "home of the spirits" and the cliffs at the southwest side of the beach were reputed to be a "jumping off point" for the deceased as they made their way into the afterlife.
The beach is indeed mystical. . . and huge! You can easily find a stretch all to yourself and in the summer months where you can enjoy body surfing and swimming.
 As you lay in the sun you may see groups of kayaks that have ridden the currents along the Na Pali coastline. Imagine what it was like here in the old days and you will be carried away into a dream.
| Directions: |
Take Hwy. 56 south past Lihue until it turns left into Hwy. 50. Take 50 until you dead end at the very southwest end of the road. You'll travel five miles on an unpaved cane road (following the signs) until you reach the sandy parking areas.
