2024 Map of Keahole Point

About this map

Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park dominates the central coastline of this West Hawaii landscape, preserving ancient Hawaiian cultural sites such as the Kaloko Fishpond. The map reveals a transition from traditional coastal trails like the Ala Kahiko Trl and Ala Mamalahoa Trl to modern aviation infrastructure at the Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole. Inland, the residential growth of Kaiminani and the northern edge of Kailua contrast with the rugged volcanic shoreline. Numerous points and beaches, including Keahole Point, Honokōhau Beach, and Alula Beach, define the interface between the Island of Hawai‘i and the Pacific Ocean. This survey illustrates the modern configuration of the Kona coast, where contemporary highway development meets historic fishing and settlement areas.
