Westernmost non Continental US = Na Pali Coast Hawaii 159° 43' 44" W (One of the most awesome experiences of my life, too)

World:
Easternmost = Coromandel New Zealand.
Southernmost= Christchurch New Zealand.
Northernmost = Terezin Czech Republic.
Westernmost = Na Pali Coast Hawaii.
oh snap! what an idiot I am - your comment about continental/non continental US made me realize my US points are wrong - my southernmost US is hawaii, not florida. doh!

Buffalo is a little further north, by 10 minutes (degree wise), or about 14 miles.
