A quaint but beautiful experience. We could go inside but the walk around the grounds was tranquil and the gardens were fun to look at. There was even a rope swing that made it feel like you were swinging over the ocean. Plus the kayak trip out to it was filled with otters and seals. 10/10 would recommend!

We put our inflatable kayak in by the wharf at 10:20, landed at the beach at 10:45, walked up to the lighthouse, rinsed our feet near the bathroom, and strolled around the grounds. beautiful experience. We made it back,l oaded thr kayak, and were on our way. by 12:20. highly recommend and would like to return.

This is one of the best kept secrets. The drive up and in to the lighthouse is spectacular!!! The docent Phil was very detail oriented and had extensive knowledge about the sight the family and the function.

My fiancée and I kayaked here from Avila Paddle Sports and it was a great experience. It took us about 30 minutes to get to the private beach and then another 5 minutes to walk to the lighthouse. It's a very serene place with stunning vistas. If you're looking for a fun and leisurely activity to do with friends and family, a lighthouse kayaking or paddle board trip is a must. Would definitely come back!

The docents are fabulous, the scenery is awesome, and the central coast weather is usually spectacular. Very affordable and well worth your time.
