For all the maritime enthusiasts out there, the well-preserved Point Reyes Lighthouse is definitely a must-visit attraction! Built in 1870 to warn travelling mariners about the treacherous rocks that line the coast, the lighthouse continues to be a beacon of attracting tourists. Make your way to the lighthouse by trekking down 308 steps, while the fierce wind assails you from all directions. However, don’t let the difficulty of the walk distract you from the view of the spectacular coastline. The sight of the lighthouse standing atop the rocky cliffs, set against the backdrop of crashing waves, is truly a magnificent sight to behold.

Keep your eyes peeled along the coastline too, because you might just catch a glimpse of large marine mammals like the Elephant Seal, or even rarer, endangered species, such as the Northern Spotted Owl. Visitors can also participate in whale-watching during the “Annual Pacific Grey Whale Migration”, which takes place between December and April. The sight of such beautiful and majestic creatures swimming and frolicking along the coast will no doubt fill you with a sense of awe and wonder! Visit Point Reyes Lighthouse today, and experience a truly unique blend of history and nature!
