Kilauea

Kilauea, Kauai

Kilauea, which literally means "much spreading" in the Hawaiian language, is located on the north shore of Kauai. A popular nearby attraction is the Kilauea Lighthouse, built in 1913 by the U.S. government on a narrow peninsula that forms the northernmost point of Kauai.

The Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, a seabird sanctuary, is nearby and can be viewed from the lighthouse. A small offshore island called Moku'ae'ae Islet is a bird sanctuary and home also to Hawaiian monk seals.
