Hike In Open House at Piedras Blancas Light Station
Enjoy the scenery on an easy hike to the Piedras Blancas Light
Station, where you can learn about the light station’s history and
local ecology while enjoying the beauty of this Outstanding Natural
Area.
Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy wandering the lighthouse grounds between
10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Docents and staff will be on hand to answer
questions, and the gift shop will be open.
Start your hike at the elephant seal viewing area parking lot 1.5
miles south of the light station or the parking lot at the vista point
1 mile to the north of the light station. Including the half-mile
trail around the light station, the round-trip hike is 3 miles from
the north and 4 miles from the south.
Entry is free, but the suggested donation of $5 per person helps with
the restoration and maintenance of the light station.
No pets, no smoking, no bicycles, and no drones. Please stay on the trail.
