2017 Map of Naliikakani Point

About this map

Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park dominates the northern shoreline of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the Pacific Ocean. The coastal margin is defined by significant volcanic features and steep topography, including the Kamo‘oali‘i Lava Flow and the towering heights of Kūkalau‘ula Pali. The Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail provides a continuous corridor along the shoreline, linking points of geographic interest such as Naliikakani Point and Papalehau Point. This 2017 data reflects a landscape shaped by active geology and the preservation of coastal heritage. Further inland, named features like Nāpu‘uonā‘elemākule and ‘Opihinehe designate specific terrain markers that contrast with the open waters of the South Shore.
