Point Cabrillo Light Station is a historic lighthouse located in the coastal town of Caspar, California. The lighthouse was first established in 1909 and has since served as a guiding beacon for ships traveling along the rugged Northern California coastline. The lighthouse is situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the Pacific Ocean, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
The Point Cabrillo Light Station consists of several buildings, including the lighthouse tower, the keeper's house, and various outbuildings. The lighthouse tower stands 47 feet tall and is made of reinforced concrete. The tower is painted white with a distinctive black lantern room at the top. The lantern room houses a fourth-order Fresnel lens, which emits a bright white light that can be seen for up to 13 nautical miles.
The keeper's house is a two-story Victorian-style building that was constructed in 1909. The house has been restored to its original condition and now serves as a museum, showcasing the history of the lighthouse and the surrounding area. Visitors can explore the various rooms of the house, including the living quarters, the kitchen, and the bedrooms. The museum also features exhibits on the history of the lighthouse, the lives of the keepers and their families, and the maritime history of the region.
In addition to the lighthouse and museum, the Point Cabrillo Light Station also features several hiking trails that wind through the surrounding landscape. Visitors can explore the rugged coastline, the nearby forests, and the abundant wildlife that calls the area home. The trails offer stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Overall, the Point Cabrillo Light Station is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the Caspar area. With its rich history, stunning views, and beautiful natural surroundings, it is a true gem of the Northern California coastline.
