Pigeon Point Light Station State Park |
Perched on a cliff on the central California coast, 50 miles south of San Francisco, the 110-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in America, has been guiding mariners since 1872. The associated keepers' housing was restored as a hostel by Hostelling International-American Youth Hostels, California State Parks, and the U.S. Coast Guard. From the boardwalk behind the fog signal building, watch for gray whales on their annual migration between January and April.
The light station is on Highway 1, 20 miles south of Half Moon Bay and 27 miles north of Santa Cruz. The lighthouse has an outdoor hot tub, equipment storage area, kitchen, and is wheelchair accessible. Office hours are from 9:30 a.m. until 9:30 pm. Call for prices of rooms.
