Makapuʻu Point

Twelve miles east of Honolulu, it is a popular hiking spot, offering great views of Makapuʻu and Waimanalo Bay on one side and the Ka ʻIwi Channel on the other side.

According to Neal McHenry, the procedure to produce another 12-foot (3.7 m) high Hyper-Radiant Fresnel Lens is no longer known.

The Light House is lit by a single 1000 watt 120 volt alternating current lamp.

The location is also popular for viewing the ocean, whale watching in the Winter, or seeing the neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai.

Additionally, one of the popular "first kisses" from the romantic comedy, 50 First Dates, was filmed aside the lighthouse with the camera spanning the picturesque landscape.
