Fodor's Review:

Snorkelers and divers will find excitement in the clear waters of this small beach park. Long ago, when sugar was the economic staple of Kohala, this harbor was busy with boats waiting for overseas shipments. Now it's a great swimming hole and an underwater museum of sorts. Remnants of shipping machinery, train wheels and other parts, and what looks like an old boat are easily visible in the clear water. There's no sandy beach here, but a ladder off the old dock makes getting in the water easy. It's best to venture out only on tranquil days, when the water is calm. A camping area is available.
