Lighthouse · Puna, Hawaiʻi
Cape Kumukahi Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1929 and no longer serves as a light for ships. The tall steel skeleton tower at the easternmost point of Hawaiʻi was spared when the 1960 Kapoho lava flow split around it; it was switched off in December 2019, and the road to it was rebuilt after the 2018 eruption.

How to see it
Above water and inside the horizon from Kapoho, by Cape Kumukahi, 1.6 km (1.0 mi) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.
On the website for now. Hawaiʻi's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when Hawaiʻi arrives.
