Point Pinos Lighthouse, nestled along the scenic shoreline of the Monterey Peninsula, has been guiding sailors for over 150 years. Its beacon, still operational, can be seen up to 17 miles out at sea. Visitors can explore the lighthouse’s historic lantern room, which houses the original lens. The site offers not only a glimpse into maritime history but also panoramic ocean views, making it a rewarding stop for those interested in both the past and the natural beauty of the area.
