Lighthouse of the Week, September 28 - October 4, 2014: Nawiliwili, Hawaii (Kauai)


Probably the most famous lighthouse on the Hawaiian island of Kauai is the Kilauea Point Lighthouse.  That's partly because it's in the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, partly because it's got a name that's easy to remember, and partly because it's picturesquely located on a bluff.

But I would imagine that the Nawiliwili Bay Lighthouse (which as far as I can determine, is also called the Ninini Point Lighthouse, due to its situation on Ninini Point) is seen more often and photographed more often, because it is near Lihue and also very near the airport.  And while it might not quite match Kilauea Point in scenic power, it's still pretty strong.  It's also closer to the golf course.
