About Kaho'olawe Southwest Point Lighthouse
A 6-meter square skeletal tower painted white marks the southwestern end of Kaho'olawe Island. This structure, which includes a gallery, was built and first lit in 1987. The lighthouse overlooks the Pacific Ocean from a cliff top. Originally established in 1928, the current tower replaced an earlier light. The light has been inactive since 2015. Access to this remote site is limited to boat.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's location on Kaho'olawe is significant due to the island's cultural and historical importance to Native Hawaiians. Its inaccessibility further emphasizes the island's protected status.
