Groups will discover that hostelling strengthens their programs. Day use for groups is available for an additional fee. The Pigeon Point Lighthouse hostel is operated by the Golden Gate Council of Hostelling International, a nonprofit membership organization, with cooperation from the California Department of Parks and Recreation and the United States Coast Guard. In 1960 the US Coast Guard built four, three-bedroom houses next to the lighthouse. Today, through the efforts of Hostelling International, these structures offer overnight lodging for up to 50 hostellers of all ages.
Guests share bathrooms with hot showers, fully-equipped kitchens and living rooms.
Meeting space is available. An outdoor hot tub may be rented in the evening. Simple cleaning chore is required of each hosteller. Drugs and alcohol prohibited. Smoking is permitted outside of the hostel buildings only.
