Nohili Point Light stands along the rugged southwestern coast of Kauai near Poipu, Hawaii. This modest navigational beacon once guided vessels through the challenging waters off Kauai’s Mana Plain. Now decommissioned, the light is no longer active and is not open to public access, though it remains visible from nearby coastal areas.

The structure is notable for its remote, windswept setting against dramatic shoreline scenery. Photographers will find golden hour — particularly sunset — ideal for capturing the light silhouetted against the Pacific. Nearby attractions include the beaches of Poipu, Waimea Canyon (“the Grand Canyon of the Pacific”), and the Polihale State Park, one of Hawaii’s longest and most secluded stretches of sand.
