Point Cabrillo Light Station, Mendocino

Easy to get too and, it wasn't very crowded on a Monday. There is free parking even a charging station for EV Vehicles which is nice. There are questionnaires about wild animals on the right when you're going to the lighthouse, and it's a short half mile walk with benches on the side if you get tired going back up. Well I house is small and quaint but beautiful and simple and there are stunning views behind it.

The lighthouse is pretty cool, if not a little busy from other tourists stopping by to see it. They have lots of stories and historic facts on the walls as well as your typical tourist-y goods for sale. Of course, the scenery alone can’t be beat. We just sat outside on the benches for about an hour watching the people and the waves. Definitely worth checking out!

Nice 1/2 mile walk from parking lot. There are a few parking spots nearer the lighthouse. Small, 2 story operating lighthouse. $5 for adults. Beautiful shoreline surrounding lighthouse.

A beautiful natural delight with grand vistas and cute squirrels. The old light house houses a small museum and helpful staff working as volunteers to keep the place open to the public. A short walk to get to the light house from the parking (approx 500 m). Worth a visit if you're in the Mendocino area!

Stopped here for a quick look. There is a good walk down to the lighthouse so be prepared with some good shoes. There is a little museum and store so bring your cash if you want to get something. They had some very cute items. But left ours behind. Worth the stop even though it was cloudy that day, it is still beautiful .
