Lehua

USA / Hawaii / Kekaha /
 island, bird sanctuary
A large tuff island less than 2 km off the north coast is visible from the northwest corner of Ni‘ihau, at Lehua landing. The horseshoe shaped Lehua Island is the product of rejuvenated volcanism and has been sculpted by marine erosion. The steep sea cliff on the south side of this relatively small island has been notched with sea caves at the waters edge. The island tapers to low-lying points that border a wide mouthed bay that opens to the north. Lehua Island functions as a part of the Hawai‘i State Seabird Sanctuary.
