Description
Fifty miles south of San Francisco on the Pacific coast, 115-foot-tall Pigeon Point Lighthouse has been a beacon for those on the sea since 1872. Resembling the twin Outer Banks of North Carolina lighthouses named Bodie and Currituck, Pigeon Point is California's most photographed lighthouse. It also ties with Point Arena for honors as the tallest lighthouse on the Pacific Coast.
The Pigeon Point Light was named for the clipper ship Carrier Pigeon, which sank off the point in 1853.
