Waimea Bay, an open bight 3 miles NW of Kaumakani, is the approach to Waimea, which is the place where Captain James Cook, R.N., made his first (January 1778) landing in the islands. A naval anchorage is off Waimea Bay. Good anchorage, for other vessels, can be found in and off Waimea Bay during ordinary weather in depths of 3 to 20 fathoms, sand bottom. Small boats usually shift anchorage to Hoanuanu Bay for better protection when the trades are strong. Depths of 5 to 18 feet extend 0.3 mile from the shore of Waimea Bay. The Waimea pier,
0.3 mile NW of the Waimea River, is a former inter-island steamer landing that is used as a state recreational pier, primarily for fishing.
