Embark on a captivating journey as you follow this scenic road to the Point Cabrillo Light Station. This historical site boasts an array of remarkable features, including an active Lighthouse housing the original Chance Brothers classic 3rd order Fresnel lens. Explore three meticulously restored Lightkeeper homes; one serves as a museum, offering a window into a lightkeeper's life in the 1930s, while the other two offer cozy vacation rentals. Don't miss the impeccably refurbished Blacksmith & Carpentry Shop, which hosts the Marine Science Exhibit, home to a captivating 240-gallon saltwater aquarium. Behind the residences, you'll find three renovated storage buildings; two have been transformed into charming vacation rental cottages, and the third serves as a public restroom. The main floor of the Lighthouse, along with the 1st Assistant Lightkeeper’s House and the Marine Science Exhibit, are accessible to the public, offering a fascinating glimpse into maritime history and the wonders of the sea.

The view, the short hiking trail and the historical story of this lighthouse are definitely worth it.
