Located on the west coast of Lanai, Kaumalapau Harbor is the main harbor for the island where most fishing boats depart. The area was once a thriving and busy harbor when pineapple was king on the island. Now the harbor is quiet with only an occasional fisherman on the wharf and the Lanai Oil Company in the background. The harbor is naturally well-protected by low seacliffs. Small tidepools can be seen near the rock wall sea break during low tide. Excellent fishing spot fromt the dock as well as the nearby rock walls. Great place to watch sunset.
