Hakuata Island Lighthouse

The Hakuata Island Lighthouse is located on Hakuata Island, which is part of the Ha'apai Group in the center of Tonga. The island is situated to the northeast of the national capital, Nuku'alofa.

The lighthouse itself is a metal skeletal tower with a square pyramidal shape, standing at a height of 9 meters and a focal height of 12 meters. It has a range of 10 nautical miles and emits a white flashing light every 10 seconds.

Unfortunately, there is limited information available about the history and current status of the Hakuata Island Lighthouse, including the year it was built. Despite this, the lighthouse is an important aid to navigation for mariners in the area, and its unique location on a small island in the Ha'apai Group makes it a notable landmark in Tonga.
