Point Cabrillo Lighthouse

The Point Cabrillo Preserve, a unit of California State Parks, includes the historic 1909 Light Station (30.5 acres), and approximately 270 acres of undeveloped coastal bluffs and prairie.
The property was purchased and preserved from development in 1992 by the California State Coastal Conservancy and managed by a non-profit affiliate, the North Coast Interpretive Association. In 2002, the property transferred to the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Management of the Preserve's programs and restoration activities was assumed by a newly formed non-profit organization: The Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation paid the Coastal Conservancy four million for the historic Light Station. The coastal Conservancy has granted that money to the Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association. These funds have been used to restore two of the three light keepers' houses and the three historic out buildings. Restoration of the West Light keepers' house exterior is complete, The West House interior, along with the historic fencing and gardens will be accomplished as additional restoration funds become available.
