Kahe Point, 3.5 miles N of Kalaeloa, is the seaward end of a mountain spur. A large power plant is prominent on the point. The largest stack is 485 feet high with a strobe light on top. Two short boulder groins extending from the shore protect the intake of the plant’s cooling system. The outfall is about 250 yards offshore with 9 feet of water over it.
