National Lighthouse Day

The Point Arena Lighthouse will celebrate National Lighthouse Day on Thursday, August 7, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. All visitors will enjoy free admission to the Indoor Museum, Outdoor Museum, and Light Station Store. Tower Tours will be available to guests 4 years and older for $5 per person.


National Lighthouse Day was originally established in 1989 to “honor the beacon of light that, for hundreds of years, symbolized safety and security for ships and boats at sea,” according to the National Lighthouse Society. Point Arena Lighthouse joins hundreds of lighthouses across America on August 7 to celebrate the day by offering free admission and special events.
