Kauai's Lighthouse



Nesting Red-footed Booby

Kilauea Lighthouse on Kauai's North Shore

The Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary for nesting seabirds, is located at the northern tip of Kauai on a peninsula 200 feet above the ocean. We were fascinated by so many amazing birds from red and white tailed tropic birds, frigates, shearwaters, boobies, and Laysan albatross nesting and fishing. The Kilauea lighthouse, built in 1913, is one of the most picturesque lighthouses we have ever seen.
