Past quiet Hawi town, the main road winds to a scenic spot overlooking spectacular Pololu Valley where the road ends. You will have an excellent bird’s eye view of spectacular green valleys and steep cliffs adorned with silver waterfalls as you look down the rugged coastline that blends with the deep blue ocean. A hiking trail dips 3 miles into Pololu Valley, which was heavily populated in ancient days, and provides access to a beautiful black sand beach. Swimming is not recommended as currents are at times hazardous.
