Description
The Point Sur Light station sits 361 feet above the surf on a large volcanic rock. Point Sur is the only complete turn-of-the century Light station open to the public in California, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. First lit on August 1, 1889, the lighthouse has remained in continuous operation. Lighthouse keepers and their families lived at the site from 1889 to 1974 when the lighthouse was automated. Today the Light station buildings are being restored through the efforts of park staff, State Park volunteers and the non-profit Central Coast Lighthouse Keepers. The Light station is open to the public only through docent-led tours.
