Fluidr / Lightstation Tower at Pigeon Point by Greatest Paka Photography

Built in 1871 on the ocean five miles south of Pescadero, California, Pigeon Point is one of the tallest lighthouses in America. The 115-ft masonry tower resembles the typical New England structure. The tower stands on a rocky promontory and has long been a landmark for ships approaching San Francisco Bay from the south. The tower has been closed to tours since December 2001 because of the collapse of brickwork supporting outside access metal walkways on the top of the structure. The California State Park system has promised repairs, but it is estimated that even if funds were available, it would be seven to ten years before the repairs would be completed.
