Point Vicente Lighthouse Centennial Ends This Week

The Point Vicente Lighthouse centennial celebration enters its final days this week, with special tours and exhibitions concluding Sunday. The historic landmark, which has guided ships along the California coast since 1926, opened its doors for rare public access to mark its 100th anniversary.

Visitors can take guided tours of the lighthouse tower, explore exhibitions at the interpretive center, and learn about the United States Lighthouse Service that maintained the beacon until automation in the 1970s. The station also served as a military lookout post during World War II, with displays detailing its coastal defense role.

The centennial events have drawn visitors from across the South Bay to this normally restricted site. Sunday marks the final opportunity to experience the lighthouse's history firsthand before it returns to limited public access.
