Aloha Tower is a historic lighthouse and one of Honolulu's most recognizable landmarks, standing at the entrance to Honolulu Harbor. Built in 1926, it once welcomed ships arriving in the islands. Today, visitors can ascend to the observation deck for sweeping views of the harbor, downtown Honolulu, and the Pacific Ocean. The tower is surrounded by the Aloha Tower Marketplace, a waterfront complex with shops and dining. Its distinctive clock face and beacon make it a beloved symbol of Hawaiian hospitality.
