The W side of the pier has a surfaced boat-launching ramp. The E side of the pier has a pump-out station and a marine hoist with a maximum capacity of 2,000 pounds.
Gasoline and a limited supply of water are available at Kailua Kona. Supplies are mostly obtained from the stores on the main highway inland from the coast.
Navigation:
Kailua Light (19°38’16″N., 156°00’03″W.), 32 feet above the water, is shown from a white pyramidal concrete tower on Kukailimoku Point which is on the NW side of the bay entrance. Also prominent is the church spire E of Kailua pier and the radio tower NW of the pier.
No breakwater protects this small exposed harbor. Access is good, and no channel is required to reach open water. The turning basin E of the pier is 12 to 20 feet deep and about 500 feet square. The approach to the pier is marked by a 023° directional light.
