spectacular Pacific Ocean. Tour each room of the keeper's living quarters, admire the well-appointed Victorian parlor, see the

to a time and place you don't often see any more. Our volunteer docents will be happy to show you around and answer questions. The
lighthouse is open five days a week (closed Tue/Wed). No reservations are required. Outside of visiting hours the lighthouse grounds
are closed and inaccessible. pointpinoslighthouse.org
PIGEON POINT Announcement: Restoration Work in Progress
In November 2011, the First Order Fresnel lens was moved from the tower's lantern room to the fog signal building. The tower itself
has been closed to the public since December 2001. The massive Fresenel lens
will be on display in the fog signal building while the tower is restored; once
the restoration is complete, the lens will be returned to the tower's lantern
room. The park remains open to visitors daily. A dedicated group of volunteer docents is on-site Thursday through Monday to host the
bookshop, lead tours around the historic grounds, and organize a shore whale watching program each spring. An interpretive center is
located in the fog signal building and includes a replica lighthouse showing the interior structure of the lighthouse tower.
