Description

 Anchoring along the coast be-tween Honaunau Bay and Hilo requires caution. Locals recom-mend Okoe Bay, 2'/i miles south of Milolii. Ian Birnie, the Hilo harbormaster, praised its sand beach, a rarity on this southern coast, and the anchorage's good, sand bottom.

In a south wind, however, this south-facing anchorage is unappealing.
