Captain Cook, Census-designated place in South Kona, Hawaii, United States.
Captain Cook extends across 12.9 square miles of land on the western coast of Hawaii Island, near Kealakekua Bay at 381 meters elevation.
The settlement received its name from the Captain Cook Coffee Company post office, which served as the central mail facility in the early 1900s.
The area maintains strong connections to Hawaiian ranching traditions, with local cowboys called paniolos continuing their livestock management practices from Mexican origins.
Hawaii Route 11 connects the community to Kailua-Kona in the north and Naalehu in the south, providing direct access to regional transportation networks.
The community sits on active volcanic terrain within Lava Flow Hazard Zone 2, sharing geological characteristics with the District of Puna.
