Beach

Old Mana Road
West Kauai
The last beach on the road, this is Kauai's westernmost
point. It is an extension of Barking Sands Beach
making it Hawaii's longest beach with 17 miles of
sparking white sand! From the northern end of the
beach, the beginning cliffs of the Na Pali can be
seen.

The sand dunes along this beach
can reach up to 100-feet in height. The entire beach
is unprotected from the ocean so surf and currents
can be fierce here. On the northern end of the beach
is Polihale State Park.

One area on the 300-foot wide beach
is safe for swimming and that is Queen's Pond, a small,
encircled reef area. It is located on the south part
of Polihale Beach going towards Barking Sands Beach.
