Point Pinos Lighthouse

Point Pinos Lighthouse is located on the northernmost tip of the Monterey Peninsula.

The building, lenses and prisms of the light are all original. Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest, continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
