It was built in 1933, in the interwar years, making it the 11th oldest of the 13 in Hawaii with a recorded construction date; the tower stands about 72 feet tall (5th tallest of 9 measured in Hawaii); its light sits 85 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl W 7.5s (a white flash every 7.5 seconds), with a range of about 24 nautical miles; it guards Pacific Ocean.
Status check, 2026-11: The current concrete tower replaced the 42-ft coral-stone tower from 1888, which was knocked down after the new one was lit in December 1933. Its height is also listed as 71 ft or 76 ft, so the 1888 date in the record refers to the original tower. It stands at 21.2964° N, 158.1062° W.
