Point Montara Lighthouse

Point Montara Lighthouse Review

Built in 1928 after two horrible shipwrecks on the point, the Point Montara Lighthouse still has its original light keeper's quarters from the late 1800s. Gray whales pass this point during their migration from November through April, so bring your binoculars. Visiting hours coincide with morning and afternoon check-in and check-out times at the adjoining youth hostel ($22 to $25 dorm beds, $62 to $90 private room).
