This light was first established in 1889. Spectacular views of Point Sur lighthouse can be seen from Highway 1. The lighthouse is located just north of the town of Big Sur at the Point Sur State Historic Park. Camping, hiking, and picnicing appear to be the focus of this tiny coastal area. Be sure to gas up before getting into the area.
Gas is really, really expensive there.
Tours of the lighthouse are on Saturdays - 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Sundays at 10 a.m. California Highway 1 near the town of Big Sur. Viewable from Highway 1.
