Hawaii has some spectacular scenery, and the state parks on the islands like to show it off. One of our favorite spots is this underrated state park in Hawaii on this remote piece of coastline. Polihale State Park may be at the end of a rutted dirt road, but the views from this spot are absolutely worth the visit.

Located on the remote coast of Kauai is a stunning bit of gorgeous beach.

The seventeen-mile stretch of white sand beach and sand dunes offer endless beach-combing and shelling fun. This is a beautiful place to spend the day, or the week, if you’re on Kauai.

The road is so difficult to navigate that it is highly recommended not to drive unless you have four-wheel drive. And most rental car companies won’t allow their vehicles to be driven out on the road.
The road can flood and become impassable, so be aware during the rainy season.
