}}Keāhole Point is the westernmost point of the island of Hawaii. The Kona International Airport was moved here from directly north of the town of Kailua-Kona in 1970, when the previous smaller airstrip was converted into the Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area. The name comes from Ke {{okina}}āhole since the {{okina}}āhole fish (Kuhlia sandvicensis) was found nearby.[2]

Between the airport and the coast lies the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii. Most of the land was formed in 1801 by the Hu{{okina}}ehu{{okina}}e lava flow from Hualālai. This flow extended the shoreline out an estimated 1 mile, adding some 4 km² of land to the island.[3] The southern part of this point is sometimes referred to as Kalihi Point.[4][5]

The Ahupua{{okina}}a (ancient name of the community in this area) was Kalaoa, still used by the census.

The site includes a house platform, a walled enclosure, a debris pile with volcanic glass and marine shells, and a larger wall.[6]

Probably the home of a common family, an excavation in 1975 estimated occupation from about 1500 to 1800.[7]

On January 14, 1989 the Kalaoa Permanent House Site was put on the state register of historic places as site number 10-27-10,205.[8] On November 21, 1992 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as site number 92001552. It was described as site 81 in a 1930 survey by Reinecke,[9] and site 8 in a 1975 survey by Rosendahl & Kirch,[10] and site HA-D15-12 on a state survey. Just south of this area is the area known as O{{okina}}oma.
