Hilo Range Rear Light
Hawaii
Located in Hilo, Hawaii, this historic range light once guided vessels into Hilo Bay by aligning with a front range light to mark the safe channel. Though its exact construction date is unclear, it served as a vital navigational aid for the busy port town. The light is no longer active and is not open to the public, so visitors cannot climb the structure.
Its compact design and tropical setting make it a distinctive find for lighthouse enthusiasts. Early morning offers the best photography light, with lush greenery as a backdrop. Nearby attractions include Hilo Bay, Rainbow Falls, Liliuokalani Park and Gardens, and the Pacific Tsunami Museum — all within easy driving distance.
