Molokaʻi Light

Molokaʻi Light, also known as the U.S. Coast Guard Molokai Light, was built in 1909 at Makanalua near Kalaupapa on the island of Molokaʻi in Hawaii. It served in the island’s coastal navigation system and remains the defining structure of the Molokaʻi Light Station. Surviving parts of the station include the lighthouse, two residences, a storage vault, a water tank, and a generator shed, reflecting the self-contained nature of remote light stations where keepers lived and worked. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, it endures as an early 20th-century navigational landmark and a reminder of Molokaʻi’s maritime infrastructure.
