Pigeon Point Lighthouse, San Mateo County, California, USA
Pigeon Point Light Station is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is one of the tallest lighthouses in the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. Pigeon Point Light Station is located on the coastal highway (State Route 1), 5 miles (8 km) south of Pescadero, California. The 115-foot (35 m), white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure. Because of its location and ready access from the main highway, Pigeon Point entertains a large number of public visitors. The lighthouse and the land around have been preserved as Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park, a California state park. It is between Santa Cruz and San Francisco.
