The lighthouse scenes for the film "The Fog" were filmed here in 1980.

The Point Reyes Headlands jut 10 miles out to sea and pose a threat to ships sailing between San Francisco Bay and locations to the north. The historic Point Reyes Lighthouse was built in 1870 to warn sailors of this navigational hazard and served for a full 105 years. The Point Reyes Lighthouse ceased service in 1975 when the Coast Guard installed an automated light next to and below the historic tower.

The Coast Guard then transferred ownership of the lighthouse to the National Park Service, who have taken on the task of preserving this beautiful example of our maritime heritage.

Terrace high on the cliffs with sweeping views of the coast and the whale migration route. Walk past the visitors center to the end of the trail. Stairs lead down to the lighthouse.
