This peaceful small town has some charming attractions such as art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. There is a farmers market here to swing by and grab some local grub or handmade goods!

This point offers an unforgettable view from the Pololū Valley Overlook. The steep cliffs, green forests, and black sand beaches is truely an amazing sight. The best time to be here is a little before sunset so that you can experience both the sunset view and daylight view.

This secluded cape was home to a long-standing lighthouse that was built in 1933. The lighthouse replaces an earlier wood lighthouse from the 1800's. Unfortunately the lighthouse was demolised recently and replaced with a metal marker to signify it's history.

This state monument is free and open during daylight hours. You can explore one of the most famous sacrificial temples on the island! There isn't much shade out here, so plan accordingly!

Beautiful view of the beach and the cliffs. The better viewing points are further down the trail.

One of the most spectacular locations on the north east coast. Can be achieved wonderfully. The bike is ideal, as numerous tourists clog the parking lots and streets here. A hiking trail/trail leads into the Sacred Valley. The entire land is sacred to Hawaiians and should be respected. Unfortunately, there is increasing pollution (littering) and overcrowding. Please respect cultural heritage and nature (see also: https://www.sfgate.com/travel/editorspicks/article/anger-proposed-development-Pololu-Valley-lookout-15964601.php) .
