Hike-In Open House

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.
