The very shortest distance from any part of Hawaii to any part of the U.S. west coast seems to be 2,281 miles, from a point on the eastern edge of the island of Hawaii to a small California promontory at north latitude 38o 55' 8.4.
RELATIVE LOCATION: The State of Hawaii is located in the North Pacific Ocean just a few degrees south of the Tropic of Cancer, approximately 2,550 miles southwest of Los Angeles and about 3,900 miles southeast of Tokyo. Because of its isolated location, Hawaii is not considered a part of the North American Continent.
