List Of Islands Of Hawaii
The following is a list of the islands in Hawaii. The state of Hawaii, consisting of the Hawaiian Islands, has the List of U.S. states by coastline, fourth-longest ocean coastline of the 50 states (after Alaska, Florida, and California) at 750 miles (1,210 km). It is the only state that consists entirely of islands, with 6,422.62 mi² (16,635 km²) of land. The Hawaiian Island archipelago extends some 1,500 miles (2,400 km) from the southernmost island of Hawaii (island), Hawaiʻi to the northernmost Kure Atoll. Despite being within the boundaries of Hawaii, Midway Atoll, comprising several smaller islands, is not included as an island of Hawaii, because it is classified as a United States Minor Outlying Islands and is therefore administered by the federal government and not the state. Hawaii is divided into five County (United States), counties: Hawaii County, Hawaii, Hawaiʻi, Honolulu County, Hawaii, Honolulu, Kalawao County, Hawaii, Kalawao, Kauai County, ...
