Kaulana Bay (South Point Boat Ramp)
18° 55.4′ N · 155° 40.2′ W · approximate
A small bay just 0.9 mile northeast of Ka Lae that the Coast Pilot says gives excellent protection from the trades, with a fishermen's boat ramp on its north shore.
Practical
Coordinate approximate (computed 0.9 nm northeast of Ka Lae Light; plot on a chart). Approach from the southwest to avoid submerged rocks off the lava-flow spit forming the east shore. Small and used by local fishing boats - anchor clear of the ramp. Exposed to kona weather.
