The Kaumalapa'u Harbor

by ALOHA DEAN

Harbor is located in West Coast,  From Lanai City take the Kaumalapau Highway (Rte. 440) approx. 6 miles to the end of the road. This is a working port where pineapples are loaded onto ships bound for Honolulu and where imported goods are received and Lanai's only interisland shipping terminal.  The wharf is a popular shoreline fishing spot and the Harbor's crystal clear waters attract a few swimmers. A scenic overlook affords dramatic views of the sea, high bluffs,
and the jagged 1,000 foot cliffs that surround the harbor.
