Lighthouse · Kīlauea, Hawaiʻi
Kīlauea Point Lighthouse
The tower, first lit in 1913, is dark now. The working light, one white flash every 10 seconds, stands nearby, about 30 m away. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It keeps its rare second-order clamshell lens, lit only on special occasions, inside Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, where entry needs a timed reservation.
