About Hawaii Kai
Hawaii Kai is a large residential area located on the island of Oahu in the county of Honolulu. It is on the eastern side of the island and use to be known for being a great fishing area. Since the 1960s much of the area has been redeveloped for housing lots and commercial real estate. Neighborhoods now extend back into the valleys and separating ridges, and the marina has been developed to allow many people to find a home on the water.
