3399 Diamond Head Rd
Honolulu, HI 96815

Diamond Head Lighthouse stands proudly on the southeastern coast of Oahu, overlooking the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean in Honolulu, HI. Built in 1917, this historic landmark has guided countless ships safely into the bustling harbor with its distinctive architecture and enduring presence.

The lighthouse, perched atop the iconic Diamond Head volcanic tuff cone, not only serves as a beacon for maritime navigation but also as a symbol of Hawaii's rich maritime history. Its stark white facade contrasts beautifully with the vivid blue skies and lush greenery that surrounds it, creating a picturesque scene that captures the essence of this tropical paradise. Visitors can't help but be captivated by the lighthouse's timeless charm and the stories it silently holds within its walls.
