ʻUpolu Point

Upolu Point is the most northerly point on the island of Hawaii. It is an extruding landform created by erupting lava from an old eruption from Mauna Kea. The main town on the extrusion is Hawi. The main ring road which encircles the island and volcanoes journeys away from the rest of the road and goes to the tip of the Upolu Point.

The landform extends into the Alenuihaha Channel which seperates Hawaii and Maui as well as Kahoolawe. The opposite end of the island is Ka Lae which is translated into South Point.

No main roads are located along the east side of the landform due to the undulating terrain. The western side of the point is smooth and this is on which the ring road is located. A smaller, road of lesser importance runs along the central area of the point and reconnects the end of the main road to the rest of the ring road.

The nearest airport is Upolu Airport which is located slightly inland from the most northern tip of Upolu Point.
