Tips from the community

This California Historical Landmark was one of California’s first lighthouses. With construction starting in 1856 for $15,000, this lighthouse now features a museum with the history of the area dating back to the mid 1800s. From April-September, the lighthouse is open daily for tours from 10am to 4pm when low tides permit. October through March it is open for weekend tours only.
