Best Answer

Los Angeles is south of San Francisco. This may lead you to believe that Los Angeles is closer to Honolulu. However, remember the shape of California; it curves eastward as you head south.

So it is the shape of California that causes LA to be over 150 miles farther from Honolulu than San Francisco:

What is the distance from Hawaii to west coast?

2,394 miles from Honolulu, Hawaii to San Francisco, California, on the U.S. west coast. Hawaii is further south than any other point within the United States. So the distance to the west coast depends on to where you measure. For example, although Los Angeles is further south than San Francisco, the Honolulu - Los Angeles distance is greater, at 2,560 miles. The very shortest distance from any part of Hawaii to any part of the U.S. west coast seems to be 2,281 miles, from a point on the eastern edge of the island of Hawaii to a small California promontory at north latitude 38o 55' 8.4".
