footnotes = Kaokinaaokinaawa is a small community and census-designated place (CDP) located in the windward district of Kookinaolauloa, City & County of Honolulu on the Island of Ookinaahu, Hawaiokinai. As of the 2000 Census, the total population for Kaokinaaokinaawa was 1,324. In Hawaiian, "kaokinaaokinaawa" means "the wrasse (fish)". The word always delights visitors who stumble on pronouncing three "a"s in a row. In Hawaiian spelling (Kaokinaaokinaawa), it is seen that each "a" is pronounced separately and distinctly, set apart by the two okinaokina (i.e., IPA|/kaʔaʔaʋa/).

Kaokinaaokinaawa is north of Kāneokinaohe Bay (north of Kaokinaōokinaio Point, also "Kalaeokaokinaōokinaio"), and the Pacific Ocean shore here is fronted by a broad fringing reef with a narrow, but quite inviting beach (Kanenelu Beach, Kalaeokinaōokinaio Beach Park, and Kaokinaaokinaawa Beach Park). The around-the-island-highway (Kamehameha Highway, State Rte. 83) and the houses and other buildings comprising the town, are confined to a relatively narrow belt along the coast. However, a long valley extends inland. Kaokinaaokinaawa Valley is part of Kualoa Ranch and used for various tourist activities as well as filming. Major films incorporating significant views of the valley include "George of the Jungle" and "Jurassic Park".

The U.S. postal code for Kaokinaaokinaawa is 96730.
