We are proud of the Point Arena Lighthouse. It's 115 feet tall, gleaming white, a sentinel to the past when ships needed its light to guide their way. Craig Tooley took this photo from an airplane.
Coast photographers, and visiting photographers too, have had a long love affair with this beautiful spot. Judy Woudenberg captured this photo.
