Pigeon Point Lighthouse
This brick lighthouse was built to incorporate a French first order Fresnel
lens. Although no longer used, the lens is still operable in the lantern room.
Previously the lens had been installed at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. It
first flashed over the Pacific in November 1872, and the lighthouse has served
continuously without structural modifications since that time.
California Registered Historical Landmark No. 930
Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in
cooperation with the United States Coast Guard, October 8, 1980.
