Point Arena Lighthouse is located 135 miles north of San Francisco.
Built originally as a masonry tower in 1870, it is located on a narrow strip of land that juts out into a portion of the cold Pacific Ocean embedded with dangerous reefs.
Toppled by the 1906 earthquake and then rebuilt in 1908, Point Arena Lighthouse is — at 115 feet — one of the tallest lighthouses anywhere in the U.S.

Mary Campbell
It is a lovely lighthouse. It’s amazing to me that all of these wonderful structures were built in the the 1700-1800’s. I guess with GPS systems they will loose their stature in maritime navigation needs, but we all still love them don’t we.
Cheryl Lunde replied
Thank you Mary, They are very beautiful, I hope that they do not destroy them instead of just disabling their use. That would be a shame. Thanks for your support and for visiting :)
Cheryl Lunde replied
Oh, and thanks for the fave also, I am honored!
