One of the oldest lighthouse present on the Western Coastal belt, which is still maintained and operational. It has an amazing history attached to it which is been nicely explained by people managing it. They also have a audio video room where they show a small documentary which shows how all this is been done. It is managed so well that one feel like to spent some more time there. Entry is free, but still one can donate as it work on donation. Personally I meet some senior citizen there who narrate how it was built and beautiful history associated with it. They even have a gift shop in the premises.

Very cute and peaceful lighthouse close to the beach. The house is surrounded by history, the landscaping is well maintain with a corner seating area and a water fountain, great for pictures. The Point Pinos lighthouse operates with donations and the small shop sales. The instructors are volunteers and do a great job explaining the history. Many people get to miss out on this great experience because the hours are not very long Tues, Wed: Close the rest are open 1-4pm. They also have a real anchor buoy entering the gate. I took my kids for some history lessons. And they love going up the tight space stairs and watching the deers

Very nice grounds with parking along the street, or you can take driveway up to gated fence. I was surprised to see tall cypress trees alongside the lighthouse building. The trees added to the ambiance of the setting. Part of the golf links is right in front of the east side, you might see somebody chip in a shot! During summer months the sunsets will line up perfect with the lighthouse in bottom of the frame.

Well, I'm pretty sure i can tell you why there were 6 shipwrecks here during operation. It is the shortest lighthouse ever, and it's built about 1/2 mile inland instead of on the cliff. 🤔

Generally light houses are tower type buildings & access to top floors are prohibited or light house tower itself is not available to visitors or far offroad. But Point Pinos is available for viewing upto top floor & Kids get to see& know how it works & how the lamp & it's lens look like. So worth visiting. No fees, but worth donating ~ $10/- for a family. Opens only 13.00 to 16.00 hrs & closed on Tuesday & Wednesday . Enjoy! Rediscovering.
