Escape from it all and soak up the peaceful natural settings of Polihale State Park. Make use of any hiking trails and picnic areas located around this protected habitat.

Polihale State Park is a great place to begin your discovery of West Side. This protected natural landscape comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like Waimea Canyon, Waimea Canyon State Park, and Milolii State Park Beach to really experience what the area has to offer.

Odd request to turn off AC everytime we leave the unit..we like to come back from a beach day to a cold place. Pillows were the worst. Great location and close to many restaurants

The condo we stayed in was nice and it was massive. The restaurant on site is so good and the pools and beach access was nice! I didn’t have a problem with this because of the time of year, but there isn’t A/C in the units, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for that or your trip is in the warmer months.

The road when dry is not that bad. It is 4 miles to Queens Pond. That doesn't have facilities, but is closer than driving to the main park area. Jeeps and SUVs make it a much easier trip than the average rental car (which we did see on the road). This beach is a must.

5/5 - Excellent

Always allow extra time for a trip to Hanalei, as the road in and out is often congested.

Beautiful! But the dirt road to access is rough and long. Plan ahead and take food & water.  Would be scary to drive back in the dark.
