Cook Landing Site (Hawaii)
Cook Landing Site in Waimea on Kauaʻi, is where Captain James Cook landed at the mouth of the Waimea River on January 20, 1778. Cook is the first European known to have sighted the Hawaiian Islands[1], and the January 20 landfall in southwestern Kauaʻi was his first arrival upon Hawaiian soil.
The site is currently a state park.[2]
