Earhart Light is a day beacon or navigational landmark shaped somewhat like a short lighthouse but without a light
Earhart Light is named after Amelia Earhart, an American aviator.
The beacon was partially destroyed during early World War II by the Japanese attacks, but it was rebuilt in the early 1960s by men from the U.S. Coast Guard ship Blackhaw. By 2000, the beacon was reported to be crumbling and it had not been repainted in decades.
