Today the park is hidden behind several blocks of an industrial zone, which is surprising as it's actually quite a scenic spot once you get passed all of that. A lighthouse was first built on the site in 1888, however the current lighthouse went into service in 1933. The structure is not open to the public, however the rugged beach is a pleasant spot to explore.

Barbers Point Lighthouse, Oahu
I arrived at Barbers Point just outside of Kalaeloa late in the afternoon during my road trip around Oahu, Hawaii. This small park on the southwestern shore of Oahu got its name from Captain Henry Barber who wrecked his ship on the coral here back in 1796.
