Polihale State Park
Seventeen miles of empty dune-backed sand at the literal end of the road.
<p>Hawaiʻi's longest beach runs from the Nā Pali's last cliff toward the Mānā plain, reached by a rough five-mile dirt road (high clearance strongly advised; rental contracts often exclude it). Monumental sunsets over Niʻihau; ferocious, unguarded surf — this is a walking-and-wondering beach, not a swimming one.</p>
