America’s West Coast is known for its beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife. Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park in California is an especially nice spot to experience what the Pacific Ocean has to offer. It is home to whales, elephant and harbor seals, migratory birds, and much more.
Located between San Francisco and Santa Cruz, California, Pigeon Point is home to the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast. It was first lit on November 15, 1872, after a number of ships had crashed into the rocky shoreline in foggy weather. The first was the Carrier Pigeon in 1853, after which the original name “Whale Point” was changed to Pigeon Point in the ship’s honor.
Pigeon Point was first named Whale Point because of the annual gray whale migration that occurs just offshore. Every year during winter and spring, gray whale mothers and their calves take refuge in Pigeon Point Cove. Visitors during this time can easily see the whales from the rocky cliffs of the point. Humpback and blue whales can sometimes be seen farther outside the cove, too.
The historic lighthouse, Pacific wildlife, and striking scenery make Pigeon Point one of the most beautiful places in America. It is a little-known wonder that is a must-see on any visit to California.
