Lapakahi State Historical Park

Lapakahi State Historical Park on the North Kohala coast of Hawaiʻi Island preserves the stone ruins of an ancient Hawaiian fishing village within the larger ahupuaʻa of Lapakahi, a traditional land division linking the shoreline, settlement, fishing grounds, and upland resources toward Kohala Mountain. The site reflects a traditional community closely tied to the sea and stands as a large archaeological area that preserves evidence of older Hawaiian life in North Kohala. Just offshore, the Lapakahi Marine Life Conservation District continues that connection to marine resources. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 2, 1973.
