Introduction

Makapu'u Point Lighthouse stands on Oahu's southeastern corner, built in 1909, a white tower on black volcanic cliffs and among Hawaii's most famous lights. A paved trail about 4 km round trip climbs gently; humpback whales can be seen offshore in winter, and the view back over Waimanalo Bay's blue coast is unforgettable.
