Climb to the top of Mendocino’s historic lighthouse! Join volunteer docents at Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park for the unique opportunity to climb to the top of the lighthouse tower and stand next to the historic 1909 Fresnel Lens. These tours happen only a few times a year, and are always a delight! All the funds raised from these tours go right back into taking care of this park. Thank you! Tours are first-come, first-serve, no reservations. First tour of the day goes up at 11 am, last ticket is sold at 2 pm. All children must be over 42" tall to climb the stairs, no babies or animals allowed on this tour. Tour guests must be able to climb three sets of steep ladders. Don’t forget about the half mile walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse! Give yourself plenty of time to arrive before our last tours of the day head up the stairs. Tours last between 15 - 20 minutes, and are led by the experienced volunteer docents of the Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association. Point Cabrillo Lighthouse is located between the towns of Fort Bragg and Mendocino on the Northern California coast, about three hours north of the San Francisco Bay Area. pointcabrillo.org/events
