Hakalau Bay

A murky stream-mouth bay below Hakalau Gulch, with the ruins of the Hakalau sugar mill destroyed by the 1946 tsunami and an old railroad bridge.
Practical
Coordinate from to-hawaii's map. From seaward the Coast Pilot notes a high trestle spanning the gulch and a row of lights at night. Black sand and pebbles; no protection for boats. The Hakalau FAD lies offshore.
