The ultimate adventure guide
Pololu Valley as viewed from the small parking area at the trailhead. A sliver of the black-sand beach can be seen near the center of this image.
The view of the beach about halfway down the trail is a fantastic photo opportunity for hikers.
Also from the halfway point on the trail is a stunning view of the lush Pololu Valley to the south.
A wide-angle view of the beach and the valley behind it.
The trail traverses the north end of the beach, which is made up of larger boulders. Eventually, the boulders end in place of black sand.
Behind the beach is a view of the Polulu Valley.
