The Piedras Blancas Light Station is just north of the Piedras Blancas elephant seal viewpoint. The old lighthouse no longer has its lens, which was removed when the Coast Guard was dismantling the light station. The intention was to shove the lens over the cliff into the ocean, but the Cambria Lions Club stepped up and saved it. The lens is now on display in Cambria. At night, it's lighted and revolves as it did years ago to guide sailors.
The Twilight Tour includes historic enactments, guides in period attire, and sunset viewing. Meet at the former Piedras Blancas Motel 15 minutes prior to your tour time. Transportation to and from the light station will be provided. Call now to reserve a spot on this exciting new tour opportunity at Piedras Blancas Light Station Outstanding Natural Area.
