Location & Light Range
About Kukuihaele Lighthouse
The Kukuihaele lighthouse, built in 1937, stands as a 10-meter square hourglass-shaped reinforced concrete tower. Its white exterior and interior ladder distinguish it architecturally from other island lighthouses. The light emits an isophase white signal every 6 seconds, visible for over 18 nautical miles. Situated on a headland about 13 miles southeast of Kauhola Point, the surrounding land is fenced for pastures. The lighthouse operates as an active aid to navigation. Public access to the site and tower is restricted.
Why it matters: Its unique square hourglass design and construction date set it apart among the island's concrete towers, providing coastal navigation for mariners along the southeastern Hawaiian coastline.
