Kahuwai
- 1. Bay, Kaʻūpūlehu, Hawaiʻi. Small bay with a deep channel into Kaʻūpūlehu Beach fronting the Kona Village Resort.
- 2. Beach, Puna, Hawaiʻi. Black sand beach that formed in 1960 at the end of the Kapoho eruption. This eruption destroyed the nearby village of Kapoho and entered the ocean to the east of Kahuwai. Steam explosions from the interaction of the molten lava and the ocean created the cinder, or "black sand" and the prevailing currents transported it to Kahuwai. Also known as Orr's Beach.
Literally, caretaker [of the] water.
