This lighthouse is still in operation and belongs to the National Registry of Historic Sites. Unfortunately, most days, access to the grounds and the lighthouse is restricted as it's used by the Coast Guard. However, you can still get a pretty good view from this point since the tower is 67 feet tall.

After WWII the ceaseless rotation of the beam became a source of annoyance for nearby residents and a potential danger for drivers along Palos Verdes Drive. In response, caretakers took action by applying a layer of white paint to the inner windows facing inland, effectively eliminating the beacon's flash from reaching the windows of neighboring houses. It was during this time that the enigmatic figure known as the "Lady of the Light" first made an appearance. In the subdued glow seeping through the painted windows, a few observers caught glimpses of a tall serene woman, in flowing gown pacing slowly the tower's walkway.
