point reyes lighthouse
Venture to the western edge of Point Reyes, where a historic lighthouse has stood watch over the Pacific for more than 150 years.
On the Western Edge
Perched on the rugged Point Reyes Headlands, the historic Point Reyes Lighthouse has guided mariners through some of the Pacific Coast’s foggiest and windiest waters since 1870. Descend the iconic staircase to the lighthouse, explore the Visitor Center, and discover the stories of the keepers who once called this remote outpost home.
The dramatic coastal setting offers unforgettable views year-round, with opportunities to spot migrating gray whales in season, seabirds soaring above the cliffs, and waves crashing far below. It’s a place where natural beauty and maritime history come together in one unforgettable destination.
