Climb to the top of one of the tallest Pacific Coast Lighthouses as Keepers have done for over 100 years!

Set in one of the most spectacular, yet peaceful surroundings on the northern California coast, the Point Arena tower is the only Pacific West coast lighthouse of significant height (115 feet) that you can climb to the top!

Guided tours of the light station as well as self guided tours of the grounds are available daily. Afterward, spend some time browsing through our Lighthouse Gift shop featuring unique souvenirs, interesting gifts, custom made Abalone Jewelry, beautiful collectibles, and lighthouse clothing.

For those who want to spend more time by the sea, you can stay in comfortable accommodations in our historic keepers' home vacation rentals which are available year round. Magnificent views, coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean surrounding the point provides a beautiful backdrop for your special lighthouse wedding and other special events.

There are several sites for weddings on the grounds. You can pick the wedding site that you wish. RV and motorhome parking are available. Visit the Point Arena Lighthouse today for one of your most memorable experiences on the breathtaking Mendocino Coast!

Planning your vacation:  The Lighthouse is situated on the closest point of land to the Hawaiian Islands in the Continental United States. The point is surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean which keeps the area cool. The isolation and serenity of the Point makes a great place to take your vacation. Your vacation can include lodging in one of lighthouse vacation rentals, wine tasting tours, and tours of the art galleries to view art created by the many local artists. Horse riding is also available. During the Spring and Fall seasons the whales and many other types of wildlife can be seen in the area. You can visit our giftshop where exquisite abalone jewelry, work by local artists, Lighthouse clothing, gift certificates, music and other great gifts are available. Many of these items are great for Christmas gifts, anniversaries, birthdays, Valentines day and many other occasions.
