Pigeon Point Lighthouse

The Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the most iconic and recognized lighthouses in California. overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the 115 foot tall Pigeon Point Lighthouse was first lit in 1872 and still stands as a reminder of California's fascinating maritime past. It was the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast and still casts its beam 20 miles out to sea. During the day, visitors can explore the grounds and take advantage of some spectacular views of both the sea and the coastline. The nearby beaches are also great for a stroll, and offer opportunities to spot marine wildlife. The historic inn at the lighthouse is the only place to stay overnight and can be toured with a guide. It is also a beacon for foggy days and a warning for sailor and children alike.
