Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park — photo spot in 13800 Point Cabrillo Dr, Mendocino, CA 95460, USA
Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park
Point Cabrillo Light sits on a rugged Mendocino headland — prime for dramatic coastal compositions: the white tower against crashing surf, kelp-lined waters, tidepools and seasonal wildflowers. Best at golden hour or blue hour; frequent coastal fog adds mood. Small state-park lot and short trails give easy access; bring a day-use pass or pay-at-station. Tower tours run seasonally—check hours. Weekdays and off-season reduce crowds.
