Puʻuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park is located along the southern Kona coastline on the western side of the Island of Hawaiʻi.The 420-acre parks lies on prehistoric lava flows of Mauna Loa volcano, where coastal fault subsidence forms cliffs and coral reefs supply dand to narrow beaches. From Hōnaunau Bay on the parkʻs northern end, the land rises gradually, but in the southern region, cliffs predominate on the shoreline and the island fault escarpment (Pali Alakaha), 120 feet high, is a dominant landform.
