First illuminated as an aid to navigation in 1875, the lighthouse still casts a beam of light to guide mariners along the rocky California coast. Today the lighthouse beckons the visitor, offering a glimpse into history and a respite from the modern world. Access to Piedras Blancas is by guided tours only. Tours are offered year round and feature cultural and natural history, as well as spectacular scenery. The BLM is working to restore both the native vegetation and historic structures in the area. Nearby San Simeon and Cambria offer visitor services. Photo by David Ledig, BLM.
