Unless you’re a dedicated hiker, surfer, kayaker or boogie boarder … or you just like to sit in a bar and drink … there aren’t many tourist attractions on the north coast of Kauai which are still open in October.
However, I did want to see the Kilauea Lighthouse which sits on a lava peninsula about fifteen minutes from where we were staying. Even though the visitor’s center was closed (thanks to you-know-who and his over-botoxed band of barbies and bullies), the park ranger who collected a nominal fee for parking was cheerful and friendly. And the rain held off just long enough for us to walk out and look around.

Saying nothing in particular 
You sure are taking in all the sights on your Hawaiian vacation. JT.
We tried to – definitely slowed down at the end … coming soon.
Love that secret beach and the lighthouse! There are many times I’ve been extremely thankful for a portapotty or as we sometimes call them here: Honey Buckets. LOL If you showed me a couple of those pictures without telling me where you were, I would never guess Hawaii.
I know – one doesn’t associate a New England style lighthouse with Hawaii! The ancient Hawaiians used to build big bonfires out there to help guide ships to Hanalei.
Beautiful photos, JT.
Thanks Edward!
You’re very welcome, and enjoy Hawaii. Have a great weekend.
A walk to a lighthouse is always worthwhile… even with portaloos. (you might have needed one x)
I agree! I can never resist a lighthouse!
Fantastic photos 😄
Thanks Willow.
For a birder like me, the Kilauea Lighthouse is a bonanza of sea birds. I love it there. With some squinting at your cliff photos, I could see all the little white dots. Each dot is a magnificent sea bird. Gorgeous views, fantastic place. Thanks for this visit to the Kilauea Lighthouse, Jan.
I could tell you’d been there Jet! A birdie told me. A rain storm was moving in and so most of the birds had taken shelter. We just had time to walk out there and back before it really hit.
