KUMBARU POINT
Kumbaru Point (Srivardhan Taluka) bearing south a half east four miles from the Rajpuri creek and sixteen miles north by west a half west from Banakot, is the north point of Kumbaru Bay, formerly called Comrah. It affords shelter from north-west winds to vessels of large size. The point stands out more than a mile from the regular coast line and is high and steep. The hills overhanging Kumbaru Bay are 800 feet high and heavily wooded. At the south end of the bay, near the shore, is a rock on which the sea breaks in three fathoms.
