Description

Klauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is located on the northern-most point of the main Hawaiian islands on a portion of the former Klauea volcanic vent and includes spectacular views from atop a 180-foot ocean bluff.

The Refuge is also home to the Daniel K. Inouye Klauea Point Lighthouse, whose 2nd order bivalve Fresnel lens lit the way for seafarers.
