Cape Kumukahi Lighthouse

Cape Kumukahi Lighthouse Review

The lighthouse, 1½ mi east of the intersection of highways 132 and 137, was miraculously unharmed during the 1960 volcano eruption here that destroyed the town of Kapoho. The lava flowed directly up to the lighthouse's base but instead of pushing it over, actually flowed around it. Locals say that, Pele, the volcano goddess, protected the Hawaiian fisherfolk by sparing the lighthouse.
