Docking

The small boat harbour is on the eastern side of the port.

It is best to call ahead for a berth as the harbourmaster, who looks after several harbours, may not be on site when you arrive.

Anchoring here is strongly discouraged due to the high change of the boat dragging ashore.

A swell enters here in southerly winds.

Wahiawa Bay, just to the SE of the town, is a useful, though small, anchorage. The holding is good in mud and sand.
