In spite of storms and ever-changing driftwood, we have so far not missed a scheduled crew change in 16 months. Once there, the keepers stay in the keepers house, a separate residence from the lightbuilding built in 1904. It is fully furnished and all the keepers need bring is their food and clothing for the week.
Keepers have specific house and ground and lighthouse keeping duties.
In addition they are expected to be tour guides for visitors. Write to the above address or use the e-mail link for details. Perched on a cIiff 50 miles south of San Francisco on the Central California Coast, this hostel provides an oceanside retreat. First built as a Coast Guard family home, the four modern bungalows by the lighthouse provide overnight lodging for up to 50 hostellers of all ages. Shared bathrooms with hot showers, fully-equipped kitchens and living rooms.
