Koko Head is the headland that defines the eastern side of Maunalua Bay along the southeastern side of the Island of Oûahu in Hawaiûi. On its western slope is the community of Portlock, a part of Hawaiûi Kai. Koko Head at 642 ft or 196 m is an ancient tuff cone that is somewhat dwarfed by its neighboring tuff cone, Koko Crater, with its peak, Kohelepelepe or Puûu Mai, rising to 1208 ft or 368 m. Koko Head itself has three significant depressions or old vents, the largest of which forms the well-known Hanauma Bay. Koko Head`s last eruption was 30,000ââ¬â35,000 years ago.[1] This eastern end of Oûahu is quite scenic and most of the area is part of Koko Head Regional Park, administered by the City & County of Honolulu. The following features and natural areas are found between Koko Head and the eastern end of the island at Makapuûu.
