About the Business
McGregor Point and Lighthouse, located at 16 Hawaii 30 in Wailuku, Hawaii, is a historic tourist attraction with a rich maritime history. Established in 1906 to replace the light at Maalaea Bay, the lighthouse sits on a scenic point named after Captain Daniel McGregor, who discovered the cove during a stormy night in the 1870s. The current twenty-foot concrete tower, with a flashing green light, stands at a focal plane of seventy-two feet above sea level.
Visitors can learn about the lighthouse's history and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding ocean. The winter months are especially popular for whale watching, as humpback whales can be seen frolicking in the waters off Maui. McGregor Point is a perfect spot to relax and witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
The institution has had several head keepers over the years, including James L. Cornwell and Luther K. Kalama. Nearby hotels offer convenient accommodation for those looking to explore the area and experience the beauty of McGregor Point and its historic lighthouse.
