Kalawao County Hawaii Last Updated: 12/31/2025 |
| Kalawao County is a county in the U.S. state of Hawaii. The county had a population of 82 in 2020. The land slopes steeply up into towering mountains and the nearly mile-high Kamakou peak, then abruptly ends with emerald-green cliffs plunging into a vibrant turquoise sea dotted with desolate islets. | |
| These spectacular coastal cliffs, rising to 3,250 feet, the tallest in the world, stretch majestically 14 miles, adorned with waterfalls and crisscrossed by five pristine valleys, once inhabited by ancient Hawaiians who built stone terraces and used the waterfalls to irrigate their taro fields. | |
