Kekaha ( Hawaiian literally the place ) is a village on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i with a population of a little over 3000 people (as of 2000).
The main economic factor for most of the 20th century was sugar cane cultivation. The local sugar mill closed in 2000.
Not far from Kekaha is the Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF).
