Waikāne (Hawaiian pronunciation:[vɐjˈkaːne];LL-Q33569 (haw)-Noaius Paticus-Waikāne.wavⓘ), also known asNorth Koʻolaupoko ([-koʔolɐwˈpoko];LL-Q33569 (haw)-Noaius Paticus-Koʻolaupoko.wavⓘ), is an area andcensus-designated place in theCounty of Honolulu,Hawaii, United States, on the island ofOʻahu. It had a population of 778 at the2010 census.[1] InHawaiian,koʻolau poko means "short windward", referring to the fact that this is the shorter of the two windward districts on the island (Koʻolauloa or "long windward" is the other). Koʻolaupoko extends fromMakapuʻu Point on the southeast to Kaʻōʻio Point on the north. Included within the district, south of North Koʻolaupoko, are the largest windward towns ofKāneʻohe,Kailua, andWaimānalo.
Waikāne lies mostly along the coastline ofKāneʻohe Bay and consists of several lush valleys that extend inland to the steep face of the Koʻolaupali (cliff). The first valley north ofKahaluʻu is Waiāhole. Next is Waikāne, then Hakipuʻu, and northernmost isKualoa. This area differs from the towns, valleys, andahupuaʻa of the southern part of Koʻolaupoko in that it is mostly undeveloped, decidedly rural in character, with many small farms.
Despite the long shoreline, public access to Kāneʻohe Bay is somewhat limited by private holdings. A small community park at Waiāhole was enlarged and improved in 2003. A larger city and county park at Kualoa provides camping and picnic areas, a long narrow beach, and views ofMokoliʻi Islet. The south side ofKualoa Regional Park faces onto Kāneʻohe Bay, and the east shore is a fringing reef off the Pacific Ocean coast of northeast Oʻahu.
The U.S.postal code for all of North Koʻolaupoko is96744 (the same as Kāneʻohe).
The Waikāne census-designated place (CDP) is located at 21°29'47" North, 157°51'34" West (21.496355, -157.859321).[2] Southward along the shore of Kāneʻohe Bay via Kamehameha Highway (State Rte. 83) are (from Waikāne) Waiāhole andKahaluʻu. Northwest up the coast beyond Kualoa and Kaʻōʻio Point is the town ofKaʻaʻawa.
