Description
Since the lighthouse has been automated the sidewalk is rarely used. Built back about 1902, it has served to keep ships safe as they passed through the channel between Molokai and Oahu. Actually named the Molokai Light, it sits on the peninsula of Kalaupapa and once made a 180 degree sweep across the leper colony there lighting the 1,800 foot cliffs behind it. A patient-resident there, Richard Marks said, "Everyone of our people...can remember this light looking over us...That light has been very special to the people here. It has been here longer than any living person has. You could always look out and see it sweeping across the cliff. It is the Kalapapa Light."
