Barbers Point Light, Coastal lighthouse in Honolulu County, US.
Barbers Point Light is a white cylindrical concrete tower standing on the coast of Honolulu County. The tower rises about 71 feet, while its beacon is positioned approximately 85 feet above sea level and shines out across the water at night.
The original structure at this location was built in 1888 from coral stone to guide ships along the Hawaiian coast. In 1933 it was replaced by the current concrete tower, which continues to stand today.
This lighthouse has long served as a visual landmark that boat operators and fishermen use to navigate and identify the coastline. The local community views it as a symbol of maritime safety and protection for those who work and travel on the water.
Access to the lighthouse comes through Barbers Point Beach Park, which offers parking and walking paths along the coast. Visitors should note that coastal conditions vary by season and some paths may be unpaved.
A lighthouse keeper recorded direct observations of the Pearl Harbor attack from this location. These observations made the tower a historically significant point during one of the most pivotal events in American history.
