    Tips

    July 11, 2024

    The Point Arena Lighthouse is located on California's Mendocino Coast and stands as a historic beacon overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Originally built in 1870, it was rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake as the 115-foot white tower you see today. It is actually one of the tallest on the West Coast! Visitors can explore its interior on guided tours, ascending 145 steps for panoramic ocean views, and learn about its history through exhibits in the Fog Signal Building, which also offers museum displays. The lighthouse grounds, which are part of the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands, provide opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing, making it a great spot to spend the afternoon exploring along the Mendocino Coast.
