Depending on how you look at things, Polihale Beach marks either the start of the Na Pali coastline or the end. If you take one of the Na Pali ocean kayak tours during the summer, this is where you'll end up. The beach is huge, spanning over 15 miles and exposed directly to the open ocean (which can make swimming dangerous during high seas). Isolation is the key word at Polihale, and to get here you'll have to drive your vehicle directly on the beach (unless, of course, you ended here via a kayak).

The best times to visit Polihale are during the winter months, as this beach is often extremely hot and there are few shady places for refuge during the summer.
