I expect to see a very tall lighthouse, especially being from Maine where we have an abundance of them, but this one sits up high on a hill and not right on the water where you expect them to be. It is only open a limited number of hours Thursday through Monday. The docent is very knowledgeable and interesting to... More

This beautifully maintained lighthouse is worth a trip The setting, surrounded by the Pacific Grove municipal golf course, is a real treat. It is set back from the water and affords a great view of Monterey Bay.

This lighthouse isn't on many peoples' radar, but it should be. The docent is knowledgeable & friendly. The lighthouse gives a glimpse of life for the keeper, a single woman. This is quite unusual. The views from the lighthouse & environs is gorgeous. In the basement there's a mini museum with another volunteer docent. A thoroughly enjoyable stop.

A small gem. Lovingly restored lighthouse. Great historical and scientific displays. Take 30 -60 minutes to enjoy.

We didn't even realize there was a lighthouse at the end of Lighthouse Avenue! It's small but historic and worth the stop. $2/adults, $1/children, very worth it. The docents were friendly and knowledgeable. Limited hours (1 - 4 pm when we were in town).

We've been down to the Monterey Bay area many times and never checked out this lighthouse until this last trip. This place is a gem. The docents were knowledgeable and brought history to life. The lighthouse rooms that are set up in the 1900 period are thoughtfully arranged and just beautiful. The history of this area is a reminder of... More

Hey this only costs $2 for adults/$1 for kids. The docents are passionate and want to let people know about lighthouses in general and the local history in particular - there are some interesting stories to be heard.

Very historic Lighthouse---the tour guides were excellent. Limited hours for the tour so check before you go. No admission fee---just recommended donations. Fun Tour. Thanks

Although a small facility, the Point Pinos Lighthouse has recently been renovated (and is still undergoing renovation) and includes a small museum with interesting items on exhibition. It's certainly not a place one would spend hours at, but if nothing else, the view from the property is unbelievable. The volunteers working at the Lighthouse thoroughly enjoy sharing their knowledge with... More
