Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge’s dramatic backdrop of steep cliffs plunging to the ocean is one of the best places on the main Hawaiian Islands to view wildlife, and is also home to some of the largest populations of nesting seabirds found in Hawai'i. Perched at the northernmost tip of Kauai, the 52-foot Kilauea Point Lighthouse was built in 1913. The lighthouse was turned off in the 1970s and has been replaced by an automatic beacon.
