Lighthouse · Hilo, Hawaiʻi
Coconut Point Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1975 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows a green light that goes dark briefly every 4 seconds, seen up to 15 nautical miles out. The white concrete tower on the Hilo bayfront, near the foot of Waiānuenue Avenue, guides ships into the harbor; it replaced a similar 1915 tower.
