Makapuu Lighthouse

Nestled within the Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline on Oahu’s Windward Coast, the Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Trail leads hikers to the historic red-roofed Makapu’u Lighthouse, constructed in 1909. While the lighthouse itself is not open to the public, the moderately challenging trail draws both travelers and locals for its breathtaking coastal views. The path winds along the rugged shoreline, offering panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the chance to spot whales during the winter months.
