From Honolulu, take H1 east. H1 will become Highway 72 just past Diamond Head. Follow Highway 72 around the island for several miles passing Hanauma Bay and Sandy Beach. Just over a half mile past the Hawaii Kai Golf Course, there is a gated dirt road on your right. This is the start of the 1.3 mile hike to the top of Makapu`u Head from which you can view the lighthouse. If you continue along Highway 72 for about a mile, you can get a distant view of the lighthouse without taking the hike. ARLHS # HAW-005
