West Coast beauty of a lighthouse

I love a lighthouse visit!  I guess growing up around boats and living along the Connecticut coast has given me an appreciation for all things related to the sea.  There were a lot of Sundays growing up when I would spend time by the lighthouse near where I lived when I would join my dad on his visits to the club.

For me, it is always a treat to find a new lighthouse to visit when traveling.

I was able to visit a great one while in Northern California!   At 115 feet, it is the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States!

the coast at Pigeon Point

Located just a few miles north of Santa Cruz, Pigeon Point is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California.

Because of current repairs in progress, it is not possible to enter the lighthouse, but the picturesque views from the grounds are awesome!
