A local view
The resident used the same description for Opana Point and Papaloa Coast. What he singled out was the change from dense growth to wind on the open shore.
On the Anahola sheet, look south from Kahala Point across Lae o Kailiu. Opana is the next named point, before the indentation marked Papaloa. Anahola coast map · USGS (PDF)
