This projection of land, more properly known by an older name, Kumukea Point, is a significant landmark of coastal Kekaha. The surface 'a'ā lava that covers this area is the result of the historic Ka'ūpūlehu Flow of 1801, which was deposited on top of a much older pāhoehoe flow. The older flow is visible in a few locations and appears as a reddish, partially weathered surface. The traditional name, Kumukea, is derived from a legendary chiefs who resided in the Ka'ūpūlehu area. Chiefs Kumukea-Kalani is also associated in legend with the naming of Ka'ūpūlehu.
