Polihale Beach on Kauai closed indefinitely

According to the Garden Island News heavy flooding has damaged a bridge and road that leads back to the remote Polihale State Park Beach.  This road is rarely in good condition anyway but the damage is pretty significant.  The DLNR says the park is cloased “indefinitely until significant repairs are made to areas of the park that were damaged by recent heavy rains.”  This was close to the same statement made when the road going to the beautiful Pu’u O Kila lookout over Kalalau Valley was closed…back in 2003.  So if their snappy timeline on that project is any indicator, visitors should probably cross Polihale off of their to do list on their Kauai vacation.  If I seem a little cranky about the Pu’u O Kila lookout, you can see why in this post.
