Sandy's Kauai Picks #6

Kilauea Lighthouse
Here's one for Hiroo - a pretty lighthouse overlooking gorgeous views on the north side of Kauai. Here's what Hawaii's Official Tourism Site has to say about the lighthouse:

Perched at the northernmost tip of the Hawaiian Islands, the 52-foot Kilauea Lighthouse was built in 1913 as a beacon for traveling ships. The view off the rugged northern coastline makes this the perfect vantage point for photos. This is also the location of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary for Hawaii's unique seabirds.

Definitely check out the website to see the photo - it really looks beautiful, and it's free (yay...)!
