Breakwater

Wahi ｜ Location, Hawaiʻi Place Names (2002),

Fishing site, Kukuihaele, Hawaiʻi. Small peninsula at the base of the sea cliffs between Kukuihaele Light and Waipiʻo Valley. The name is linked to the construction of the 2-mile long breakwater in Hilo Bay, which was started in 1908 and completed in 1929. Boulders from the peninsula were loaded on barges and towed to Hilo Bay, where they were used in the construction of the second phase of the breakwater.
