Oahu (usually Oahu outside
Hawaiian and
Hawaiian English), the "Gathering Place", is the third largest of the
Hawaiian Islands and most populous of the islands in the State of
Hawaii. Including small close-in offshore islands such as
Ford Island and the islands in
Kaneohe Bay and off the eastern coast, it has a total land area of 1,545.3 km² (596.7 mile²). In greatest dimension, this volcanic island is 71 km (44 mi) long and 48 km (30 mi) across. The length of the shoreline is 366 km (227 mi). The island is the result of two separate
shield volcanoes: Waianae and
Koolau, with a broad "valley" or saddle (the central Oahu Plain) between them. The highest point is Mt. Kaala in the Waianae Range, rising to 1,220 m (4,003 ft) above sea level.
