Access to this beach is not for the faint of heart. Getting here takes effort and determination, but the reward is well worth it. This is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Long, wide, and nearly uninhabited. Spectacular views of the ocean. Absolutely fantastic. It lies at the end of a long, rough.....make that VERY ROUGH... trail, which can only be accessed by 4 wheel drive jeeps. Probably not the best place for swimming, as the surf is pretty rough. But wow...is it ever a beautiful place. This is one of those rare places in the world where you can stand and feel like you are the only person on the planet.

Once we actually got to garden of the gods, the kiddos were all napping in the back seat, so we continued down to Polihua. What a treat. We parked under the shade of the last few trees before the beach and found a HUGE beach with nobody on it. Just brilliant golden sand for as far as we could see. We kicked off our sandals and just walked. Girls picking up shells, us taking some amazing pictures, and everyone enjoying the full sun. Out in the channel between Molokai, we saw our most impressive whale performance yet. It was as if they were dancing for us. Flipping around for the whole time we were on the beach. We followed the tracks of some animals, inspected some driftwood and really just soaked up the experience.

If you rent a jeep in lanai, definitely check out this beach. It is absolutely gorgeous, worth a visit even if you can't swim at it. We took the first ferry to lanai and when we got to the beach we were the only people there, I would definitely recommend heading over there early. The ride there is bumpy, but worth it.

Polihua Beach is absolutely beautiful. We only saw one other vehicle there and we never saw the people that belonged with the vehicle.There's no swimming at the beach and I don't see how someone could get in the water and get back out, as it is just a shelf that drops off. You can see how someone could easily be swept away, as you can see the current. But, for a beautiful beach, with Molokai and Maui in the background, this was worth the hour or hour and a half that it took to get there. Definitely pack a lunch and some cold drinks as you'll want to stay a while and enjoy the view. I almost hate giving a review on this one, because I want it to stay as secluded as it is. I can't wait to go back to visit.

great isolated beach, difficult bumpy rocky dusty road to get to bring plenty of water.Water was extremely rough looking with plenty of rip currents....DON"T GET IN THE WATER...other then that and the wind, rough access it's perfect.
