Kilauea Lighthouse, Kauai, Hawaii


Since 1913 the beautiful 52-foot-tall Kilauea Lighthouse has stood as a sentinel, perched on a high bluff at Kauai's rugged Kileuea Point, which is the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian Islands. The light once had the largest clamshell lens in existence, until it was replaced by a beacon in the mid 1970s.

It will cost you $3.00 to visit the lighthouse, although it may be seen and photographed from a nearby vantage point for free. There is a very small museum and a visitor center near the light, and the magnificent views are well worth the nominal admission charge.

Hours:Monday - Friday: 10 am - 4 pmClosed Saturday, Sunday and Federal Holidays
