Despite its reputation as a haunted destination, Point Sur Lighthouse possesses an extremely rich history, as well as some of the most breathtaking views in California. Since its establishment in 1889, the lighthouse continues to serve as a beacon to incoming ships, guiding them along the dangerous central California coast.

Take a stroll along the boardwalk leading up to the lighthouse, accompanied with the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore. Gaze upon the magnificent rocky cliffs in the distance, and while you’re at it, take plenty of photos too! Regular guided tours are available, and they will take you on a historic journey through the interior of the lighthouse. But for those of you who are more adventurous, you might want to test your bravery with their “Ghost Tours“. Regardless of whether you’re a history or a horror aficionado, Point Sur Lighthouse is bound to pique your interest.
