  We went to Pacific Grove and as part of our visit took some photos of the historic Point Pinos Lighthouse. The iighthouse first started guiding mariners in 1855. It is still active today.  more »

  You didn't build the lighthouse and yet you understand the reason it was built and put yourself into that role.  more »

  This lighthouse is worth a stop and the $5 admission. Although serving as a fully automated beacon for more than fifty years, the internal space has been recreated similar to its Victorian, WWI, and WWII time period deco. The volunteer docents are extremely gracious and are eager to share their detailed knowledge of its history. Mostly self-guided, a detailed tour will take about forty five minutes. I recommend visiting this little lighthouse near Monterey, CA.

  Great history. The docents have many great stories and love to share them. The history of lighthouse keepers was fascinating. Several were women, which is fantastic. Duck when you go up to see the Fresnel lens...it's tight quarters!
