Point Arena Lighthouse exhibit with Scott Sewell, photographer & Ling-Yen Jones, jeweler

Visit the 154 year old Light Station and enjoy the most unique experience on the Mendocino coast! Climb to the top of the 115′ tall Lighthouse Tower and enjoy spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Manchester Beach and the Point Arena/Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument. Spend time learning the history and technology of the Light Station in the Fog Signal Building Museum, and be awed by the Museum’s centerpiece – the original 1st Order Fresnel lens that lit the way in the Tower from 1908 through 1977.
