He’eia Kea Boat Harbor
Heeia Small Boat Harbor is located on the southwest (Mauka) shore of Kaneohe Bay. There are wet slips for small vessels up to approximately 30ft. The wetslips are a med moor or tahiti tie where the boat is strung up fore and aft to the dock. There are no floating docks or piers that run between the slips. It can get choppy on a strong tradewind day. There are washdown facilities and 3 good ramps for trailer launching boats. The Heeia Pier General Store and Deli is a small convenience store and restaurant.
