Nāwiliwili Bay, on the SE side of Kaua‘i, has an entrance width of 0.8 mile between Carter and Ninini Points and an inland extent of about 1 mile and is protected by a breakwater, marked at the end by a light, extending NE from Carter Point, and by a jetty in the inner harbor. SE winds produce some surge, but the harbor is otherwise secure. Anchorage in the vicinity of Nāwiliwili Bay, outside the breakwater, is not recommended. Commercial vessels are not allowed to anchor within the harbor basin, except by permission from the harbormaster. Swinging room is limited. An anchorage area for small boats is within the mouth of Huleia Stream, adjacent to the small boat harbor basin. [www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/nsd/coastpilot_w.php?book=7]
