This view of Kawaihae Harbor shows the main harbor with its wharf on the left and breakwater on the right. Close to the breakwater are several boats on buoys and the military’s landing ramp and staging area. On the upper right is the relatively new small boat harbor, home to about 25 small boats.
Bottom left is the old small boat harbor which is mostly used for launching small boats and canoes these days, after a storm breached the small breakwater protecting it.

A while back, my local snorkel spot suddenly sprouted these colorful aquatic murals on some of the crumbling surfaces around the parking area. Not sure who was responsible, but I quite like them.
Apparently, this sign didn’t take its own advice.
I liked how, in this predominantly blue scene, the burgundy sail covers of this catamaran matched the mooring buoy it was attached to off the South Kohala coast.
The ocean is full of strange, but colorful sea creatures including these seen in the sheltered waters of Kawaihae.
I love the patterns in shallow water and it’s a bonus when something, such as this turtle, add a twist to the image.
These robust steps lead into the water at the small park between the Port of Kawaihae and its small boat harbor. They’re nice and wide so surfers can get in and out on their way to the surf break in the vicinity. I was hoping that a large shape might pass by the steps, which is not unreasonable since there are a lot of sharks in this area.
