Pololu Beach

Beautiful black sand beach at the end of the Pololu Valley trail. There’s a slippery walk down to the valley from the overlook area... maybe 3/4 of a mile. Nice views on the way down, ending where the river meets the sea.

A beautiful black sand beach where Kamehameha played in his youth. Easy trail down but wear shoes and take water.
