Historic Hawai'i Landmarks.
Kilauea Lighthouse is the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian Islands. Built in 1913, it was had the largest lens of it's kind and guided ships heading to and from the Orient. In the 1970's its light was turned off and this landmark was replaced by a low-maintenance light beacon.
Nearby is the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, home to a diverse population of nesting seabirds
Residents include the red-footed boobies, the Laysan albatross, and the great frigate bird with its 8-foot wingspan. Crater Hill, landward from the lighthouse, is part of an extinct volcano that looms above the refuge and is open to hikers. From this hill are terrific views of the North Shore coast and the seabird nests.
