Light to go out on Hawaii’s Big Island…

Coastal erosion leads to demolition of Kauhola Lighthouse.

The US Coast Guard has decided to demolish the Kauhola Lighthouse on the Big Island’s Kohala Coast because of eroding ground.

The Kauhola Lighthouse sits on a 1.4 hectare federal government property north of Hawi in the Kohala area of the Big Island and is in danger of falling down a steep cliff face if no action is taken.
