A Lighthouse Alongside the Pacific Coast Highway in California: Photo of the Day

The Montera Point lighthouse is perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean just 25 miles south of San Francisco and is home to the Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel.

Originally established in 1875 as a fog signal station after several ships ran ashore in the late 1860s, this historic lighthouse is still an operating aid-to-navigation maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. The hostel has been in operation since 1980 through a partnership with California State Parks.
