When I am on Kaua'i, I will be working online in Kekaha. Twelve miles from there is where I will be painting, swimming, flying boomerangs, and socializing...at Polihale. I meet travelers almost every day that I am there...very nice people. They have come from Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, Africa, as well as the Mainland...and one person even came to warm up after spending some time in Antarctica.
Polihale isn't exactly the easiest place to get to. First of all, the Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated inhabited islands, being over 2000 miles from the Mainland. Of those islands, Kaua'i is the most isolated. Polihale isn't the most isolated "inhabited" place on Kaua'i...The Kalalau Valley is...but it's pretty far out there.
Polihale's miles of sandy beach are famous for puka shells and sunrise shells. The ones that have been worn smooth through the centuries and are still almost complete are the most valued. The bright, shiny whole sunrises are looked down upon by many because live scallops are frequently collected by divers to supply those "perfect shells."
Ni'ihau shell shell leis and necklaces are famous and expensive. Some of the same kinds of small shells are found on some beaches of Kaua'i and are painstakingly strung by some Polihale people. I will be placing some shell and seed jewelry into the Polihale Arts and Crafts section of BoomerangArt's eBay Store. They will be categorized by the artisan who made the piece.
