Celebrating its 152nd Anniversary of lighting the way on the Pacific Coast in 2022 the Point Arena Lighthouse stands as an iconic figure on the landscape of the American Pacific Coast. No other lighthouse offers such a fully interactive experience in the exchange between history, science and natural beauty.

You can make donations to help the 152-year old Light Station keep the light shining for generations to come!"
And Tasi asks everyone to "Please cooperate with all County, State and Federal orders during this unprecedented crisis and be patient with and good to each other. Most of all, bring that positive coastal attitude and sense of humor to bear as much as you can!"
