Blunts Point Battery
Blunts Point
A World War II coastal battery built after Pearl Harbor, where two 6-inch naval guns still guard the harbor entrance from the hilltop.
Blunts Point Battery was built in 1941 to defend the entrance to Pago Pago Harbor. The hilltop still holds two 6-inch naval guns and concrete bunkers, and the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A steep footpath climbs from the roadside near Utulei and takes about 15 to 20 minutes. From the summit, you can look down over the harbor entrance and across to Rainmaker Mountain. The trail is unmaintained and slippery after rain, so wear non-slip shoes.
