For statistical purposes, Midway is grouped as one of the United States Minor Outlying Islands. Unlike the other Hawaiian islands, Midway observes Samoa Time ( UTC−11:00, i.e., eleven hours behind Coordinated Universal Time), which is one hour behind the time in the Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone used in Hawaii. Roughly equidistant between North America and Asia, Midway is the only island in the Hawaiian Archipelago that is not part of the state of Hawaii.

Forming a rough, incomplete circle around the two main islands and creating Midway Lagoon is Spit Island, a narrow reef.

Immediately to the east of Sand Island across the narrow Brooks Channel is Eastern Island, which is uninhabited and no longer has any facilities. The largest island is Sand Island, which has housing and an airstrip. Midway Atoll is an insular area of the United States and is an unorganized and unincorporated territory. Midway Atoll ( colloquial: Midway Islands Hawaiian: Kauihelani, lit.'the backbone of heaven' Pihemanu, 'the loud din of birds') is a 2.4 sq mi (6.2 km 2) atoll in the North Pacific Ocean.
