Pigeon Point Lighthouse California Postcard

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the tallest and most iconic lighthouses on the Pacific Coast of the United States. Perched on a dramatic stretch of shoreline south of San Francisco, it has guided mariners along California’s rugged coastline since 1872 and remains a beloved landmark overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Surrounded by windswept cliffs, crashing waves, coastal wildflowers, and frequent sightings of migrating whales, the lighthouse offers some of the most memorable ocean views in California. Its striking white tower and historic keeper’s buildings make it a favourite destination for photographers, travelers, and road trippers exploring the scenic Highway 1 coastline.
