Kaanapali: Honokowai
Honokowai sits on the Pacific coast of West Maui, Hawaii, where a narrow settled shoreline meets reef-fringed water. This coastal community lies between Kaanapali and Kapalua on Maui’s leeward side, with the West Maui Mountains rising inland and the Auau Channel extending offshore. Its shore brings together residences, visitor accommodation, lava rock and coral reef, rather than the broad sandy beaches associated with nearby Kaanapali. Honoapiilani Highway runs through the community, linking it with Lahaina to the south and Kapalua to the north. Honokowai also belongs to Maui’s traditional ahupuaa pattern of land divisions, which connected the uplands with the sea and shaped the management of local resources.

Among the resort communities of Hawaii, Kaanapali stands out for a broad sweep of Pacific coast beneath the West Maui Mountains. Ka'anapali Beach extends along Maui's leeward shore, while the dark lava promontory of Pu'u Keka'a, widely called Black Rock, marks its northern end. Across the Auau Channel lies the island of Lanai, part of the marine setting that defines this stretch of coast. Kaanapali was developed during the 1960s as Hawaii's first planned resort, replacing former sugarcane fields and helping establish tourism as a major force in West Maui.

Among the regions of the United States, Hawaii stands out for its remote Pacific setting and chain of volcanic islands. These islands rise from the central Pacific Ocean, where trade winds, lava-shaped coasts and tropical vegetation create sharply varied environments. The coordinates lie on Oahu, home to Honolulu, the state capital and its principal urban centre. Oahu also contains Pearl Harbor, a naval base associated with the 1941 attack that brought the United States into the Second World War. Beaches, ridges and densely settled coastal districts sit close together here. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around the Hawaiian Islands.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
