The Coast Guard and State Parks have done a great job in restoring this lighthouse and community, and in telling the story behind it. It's just north of the Elephant Seal rookery, so it's easy to do both. Be sure to make reservations.

Docent led stroll. Meet at old Piedras Blancas motel site. Neaby elephant sea rookeries; not to be missed.

The lighthouse itseld is cute, but it's best feature is as a background to watching the Elephant Seals on the beach.

A nice historical visit at Piedras Blancas Light House. You'll pay $10 for a tour which takes you through a guided tour of the grounds along w/ a brief lesson on local sea life. Fun to learn about the local history.

The lighthouuse tour is a must. Wear good walking shoes. Lots to learn and see. Would be great for childern too. Very reasonable for a 2 hour tour.

Looked like it would have been a nice place to visit. Grounds looked well maintained from what we could see. Visit in the afternoon after the fog burns off ...

The tour of the grounds was informative and beautiful. Bring a jacket. Leave the binoculars at home, they have binoculars you can borrow!
