can be found at Pololu. This is a moderate hike switchbacking 420-ft down to the valley floor where you will find Pololu Beach, a stunning black sand beach. You will also find numerous large boulders and some driftwood scattered around. The trail starts at the Lookout, located at the end of the road 15-minutes past Hawi and the area of <a href=\"http:\/\/pennhenderson.com\/west-hawaii-areas\/kohala-coast-real-estate\/puakea\/\">Puakea.<\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Caution:<\/strong> The ocean here is quite sketchy, known for its massive under-toe, high surf, and riptides. Do not go into the water.\u00a0 It is also important that you remain on the trail beyond the beach. Much of the surrounding land is privately owned and consists of numerous sacred burial sites.
