Fun Facts

The lighthouse is equipped with a hyper-radiant Fresnel lens, which is one of the largest lenses used in lighthouses worldwide.

Built in 1909, the lighthouse has been guiding ships for over a century, making it a historic maritime landmark.

The Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the chance to spot humpback whales during the winter months.

Situated on the southeastern tip of Oahu, it marks the easternmost point of the island, providing stunning sunrise views.

While the lighthouse itself is closed to visitors, the surrounding area is accessible and offers panoramic vistas of the coastline.

The lighthouse is painted white with a red roof, a classic color scheme that stands out against the blue ocean backdrop.
