Polihale State Park, located at Lower Saki Mana Road in Waimea, Hawaii, is a stunning beach park that rewards visitors who brave a long and rutted dirt road with a breathtaking experience. This park is a popular tourist attraction, offering picnicking and tent camping on a wild coastline with a large sand beach backed by dunes. Visitors can enjoy swimming during calm conditions in the summer, as well as shore fishing and scenic views of the high sea cliffs of the Nāpali Coast. However, it is important to monitor local surf and weather reports before visiting the park, as the road leading to the park is unimproved and may become impassable during heavy rains. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended, as rental car companies may prohibit their vehicles from accessing the park. Due to overuse and abuse, Polihale State Park has faced temporary closures in the past. The State Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of State Parks is working on improving park management and enforcing park rules to prevent further closures. Community feedback is being gathered through open house talk story sessions and virtual meetings to identify potential improvements and management policies. Overnight camping at Polihale has reopened for stays beginning August 14, 2022, with reservations available online.
