Tips from the community

Table Bluff Lighthouse stands as a historical beacon along the northern California coast, featured prominently in any comprehensive guide to the state's lighthouses. Originally constructed in 1892 to guide mariners through the treacherous waters near the entrance to Humboldt Bay, the lighthouse exemplifies the classic architecture and important legacy of California's coastal aids to navigation. While the original tower was deactivated and moved to the Woodley Island Marina in Eureka for public display, Table Bluff remains a significant point of interest for both its maritime history and its scenic value to visitors exploring the rich heritage of California's lighthouses.
