The Kilauea Lighthouse, perched on a rugged cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is one of Kauai’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1913, this historic lighthouse served as a navigational aid for ships traveling between Hawaii and the Orient. Its towering white structure, topped with a bright red roof, stands out against the deep blue of the ocean, offering stunning panoramic views.
The lighthouse is part of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary that protects seabirds like the Laysan albatross, red-footed boobies, and Hawaiian monk seals. Visitors can enjoy birdwatching, learn about the area's natural history, and explore the small visitor center that provides insights into the lighthouse’s history and the wildlife that inhabits the area.
Whether you're interested in history, wildlife, or simply soaking in the breathtaking coastal scenery, a visit to the Kilauea Lighthouse offers a peaceful and picturesque experience on Kauai's North Shore.
