Point Arena Lighthouse hosts over 30,000 visitors
annually. It has been featured in two films (1982's Treasure
and 1992's Forever Young with Mel Gibson), as well
as in numerous television commercials.
These three dream homes are available all year long.
Each three-bedroom, two-bath rental is fully furnished
with food preparation and dining facilities, a large
wood-burning heat stove, satellite television, VCR, and
the most beautiful of ocean views. Adjacent to each home
is a picnic table and lawn chairs. A gazebo is close by.
Imagine a wonderful meal enjoyed outdoors in such a
spectacular setting with friends and family! |

The Point
Arena Lighthouse is open for public tours every day of the
year except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and weekdays in
December and January.
A modest site admission fee is required for entry. A
museum, located in the Fog Signal Building, includes
displays of historical equipment and pictures, Coast Guard
and ship wreck artifacts and charts, geographical maps and
information on the area, and examples of local plants,
birds, and whales.
Additionally, the work of local artists and
photographers is displayed, with occasional special art
exhibitions. Tours of the lighthouse tower and museum are
conducted by professional docents. Nature tours and bus and
school tours are available with advance reservation. |

Not only will you have the unusual opportunity to enmesh
yourself in the history and natural wonders of the site, but
you will also be staying in one of the most beautiful areas of
the California coast. Hiking, fishing, boating, and surfing
are all available nearby. There is an abundance of wildlife in
this unspoiled area, including migrating whales, harbor seals,
deer, bobcats, raccoons, and migratory birds such as the rare
Tundra swan, black cormorant, egret, and blue heron. The
location is a natural draw for whale-watchers, bird-watchers,
ocean-watchers, and, of course, lighthouse enthusiasts.
Come support the preservation of Point Arena Lighthouse and
this beautiful spot along the Mendocino Coast. Due to the
preservation of the point over time, some of the rarest
species of coastal wildflowers and plants can be found here.
The Point Arena Lighthouse vacation rentals offer not only all
the comforts of home in a gorgeous location, but also the
wonderful feeling of making a difference in lighthouse
preservation. |
