Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park
About
Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park is an 80-acre state park in California, about 4 miles from the town of Pescadero. It is managed by California's state park and recreation agency, and it sits on its own as a compact historic park rather than as part of a larger land unit. The drier months are the most comfortable time to visit. From July through September, a nearby weather station records typical highs around 69 to 72°F and only about three wet days a month. Winter brings highs near 60°F and roughly 13 wet days a month. Wilbur's Watch Trail lies less than a mile away. The Año Nuevo Trail and South Butano Fire Trail are about 3 miles off, and Pescadero Creek offers paddling about 8 miles away.
