Continuing our tour around the northern end of the Big Island in February 2014, we drove to the end of ʻAkoni Pule Highway, Hawaii route 270, and an overlook of the Pololū Valley. Parking is extremely limited, but the views are worth the hassle. A trail provides access to the beach over 400 feet below, but we didn't have time to explore it.
