Oahu Wall Clock

“The Gathering Place,” or formally known as Oahu, is the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands, where over two-thirds of the state’s population resides. The capital of Hawaii is found on this island, in the city of Honolulu, and along with the few offshore islands of Ford and Kane’ohe Bay it takes up a total radius of 596.7 square miles, making it the largest of the Polynesian Islands. Oahu is a volcanic island that spans 44 miles long, and measures 30 miles across, with over 227 miles of shoreline. This volcanic island is a result of two separate shield volcanoes: the Ko’olau Ranges and the Wai’anae, with Ka’ala reaching its highest point in the Wai’anae Range, peaking at 4,003 feet above sea level. The island can’t be described with compass directions due to Oahu’s diamond-ish shape surrounded by ocean and divided by mountain ranges. Lanikai Beach, lies on the windward side of O’ahu, and is consistently named among the most beautiful beaches in the world.
