North Koolaupoko is an area in the City & County of Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, on the island of Oahu. It corresponds to the Waikane census-designated place, with a population of 778 at the 2010 census. In Hawaiian, ''koolau poko'' means "short windward", referring to the fact that this is the shorter of the two windward districts on the island (''Koolauloa'' or "long windward" is the other). Koolaupoko extends from Makapuu Point on the southeast to Kaōio Point on the north. Included within the district, south of North Koolaupoko, are the largest windward towns of Kāneohe, Kailua, and Waimānalo. North Koolaupoko lies mostly along the coastline of Kāneohe Bay and consists of several lush valleys that extend inland to the steep face of the Koolau ''pali'' (cliff). The first valley north of Kahaluu is Waiāhole. Next is Waikāne, then Hakipuu, and northernmost is Kualoa. This area differs from the towns, valleys, and ''ahupuaa'' of the southern part of Koolaupoko in that it is mostly undeveloped, decidedly rural in character, with many small farms. Despite the long shoreline, public access to Kāneohe 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 of Mokoliʻi Islet (Chinaman's Hat). The south side of Kualoa Regional Park faces onto Kāneohe Bay, and the east shore is a fringing reef off the Pacific Ocean coast of northeast Oahu. The U.S. postal code for all of North Koolaupoko is 96744 (the same as Kāneohe). == Geography == The Waikāne census-designated place (CDP) is located at 21°29'47" North, 157°51'34" West (21.496355, -157.859321). Southward along the shore of Kāneohe Bay via Kamehameha Highway (State Rte. 83) are (from Waikāne) Waiāhole and Kahaluu. Northwest up the coast beyond Kualoa and Kaōio Point is the town of Kaaawa. The Waikane CDP encompasses much more than the location known as Waikāne, which is but one of several valleys comprising the north end of the Koolaupoko District. The CDP has a total area of , of which is land and is water. The total area is 4.88% water. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Koolaupoko, Hawaii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
