Point Reyes Lighthouse

It's a long drive to get there but worth it. Dress warm because this is the windiest area in the pacific coast and it gets really cold. There's a half a mile walk from parking , dogs are not allowed.

Well worth the drive out! Spectacular views ! Just be mindful of the time of day as they close the steps going down to the light house @ 4:30. rangers do a nice job explaining some interesting facts.

Great lookout of the pacific coast, a long drive but well worth it. Possible to see whales and def elephant seals

The new accessibility improvements are great. Drive very slowly up to the parking area the road is shared with pedestrians

Great workout go up & down the 300 stairs a few times. Closes at 4:30pm. Check winds at windyty.com

Get there early (opens 10am) for less crowds and to find a parking spot , and go in Jan or Mar to see whales !

It's worth going to the top. Try to experience sunset view . It will be windy moat of the times..do cover your self 🙂

The stairs to the lighthouse close if the winds exceed 40mph, but the walk down / up isn't too bad and a worthwhile effort.

Foggiest and windiest place on the West Coast. Lighthouse is closed T/W/Th and the 301 stairs down to it are closed when winds are over 40mph. Lighthouse is .4 miles from parking area.

Just over 300 steps down to the lighthouse from the parking lot . Makes for a good workout on the way back!

Learn about the history and function of the lighthouse from a Ranger at the lens room from 2:30 to 4pm.

Open Monday to Friday except when apparently on a whim they close from Tuesday to Thursday. Imho they owe me gas and time at least.

Go at sunset . It's amazeballs.

End of the world ! After all this stairs you will enjoy the view !

Don't forget a wind breaker, the views are incredible! Oh ya, the steps ....its a workout.

One of the best burgers ! Order the truffled mushrooms with it!!

Gorgeous views . Be prepared for the climb up.

Note the 4:30 closing time! Gates will be locked to get you in (but you're ok getting out).

great place for whale watching

Be prepared for hike back up the 300 steps .

Great views . 308 steps .

The stairs are worth the view !

Beautiful day trip.

Excellent place for whale watching in January.

Walk down the stairs .

Visit the Elephant seal overlook in Drakes bay .

There's 310 steps . Going down is easy but coming up is a little difficult.

Make sure you dress warm! 40 mph winds are typical!

Did you know that the movie "The Fog" was partly filmed here?

300 steps ....

Fantastic ocean view !

Use the restrooms near the lighthouse , there's water there!

Whale watching!!

300 steps to the bottom isn't so bad... but you'll feel it on the way back up!
