Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park Details

Built-in 1909, the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse is the main attraction of this coastal state park. Much of the original structure (and the lightkeeper houses) are original, although it has been lightly restored to preserve its structure. The U.S. Coast Guard took ownership of the lighthouse in 1939 until it was handed over to the state in 2002. Around the lighthouse, you'll also find a connection to the California Coastal Trail, which will eventually span the entire length of the state.
