Hawaii is the southernmost U.S. state and the second westernmost after Alaska . Hawaii, like Alaska, does not border any other U.S. state . It is the only U.S. state that is not geographically located in North America, the only state completely surrounded by water and that is entirely an archipelago, and the only state in which coffee is commercially cultivable . </P> <P> In addition to the eight main islands, the state has many smaller islands and islets . Ka ʻula is a small island near Ni ʻihau . The Northwest Hawaiian Islands is a group of nine small, older islands to the northwest of Kaua ʻi that extend from Nihoa to Kure Atoll; these are remnants of once much larger volcanic mountains . Across the archipelago are around 130 small rocks and islets, such as Molokini, which are either volcanic, marine sedimentary or erosional in origin . </P>
