So we drove over to the marina one late afternoon to admire the deep sea fishing boats and then watch the bright orange sun dip into the Pacific Ocean.

The Honokohau Marina is located off Hwy 19 between mile markers # 97 and 98. If you're using a GPS unit, try entering the official address of 74-381 Kealakehe Parkway, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740. You can also try searching for Honokohau in the GPS unit's POI (Points of Interest) database.

There's no entrance or parking fee required to visit the Honokohau Marina. We parked close to the lava boulders by the ocean and walked around the marina until it was almost time to watch the sunset.
