Lighthouse · Lāhainā, Hawaiʻi
Lāhainā Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1917 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows one red flash every 6 seconds, seen up to 7 nautical miles out. The light station, Hawaiʻi's oldest, was first lit in 1840 for the whaling fleet; the concrete tower on the harbor front was damaged but left standing by the August 2023 wildfire that destroyed most of Lāhainā town.
