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.

    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!
