Point Cabrillo Light Station was maybe my favorite part of my short 3 days in Northern California. It’s a special and beautiful place. It began operation in 1909.
The view from the light station:
Squirrels enjoying the ocean view:
We saw many Colombian Black-tailed Deer, common to the coast; guess how they got that name?
We did not see any mountain lions although there were warning signs. I never see them in Arizona either. Maybe I’m just not lucky or maybe I am. I did see a Northern Harrier but I have yet to get a decent photo of one; they’re fast, surveying fields for tasty rodents. Once again, I should have had my birding lens:
What would be really fun would be to rent the Lighthouse Keeper’s House, the Assistant Lighthouse Keeper’s House, or one of the 2 little cottages. You can find information about doing this and see more photos on their website.
It would be so exciting/eerie to have the light washing over you at night while hearing the roar of the ocean so close.
All of that seems so long ago and far away with the “new normal” we are all experiencing. Stay safe.
