latitude 38° 57' 16.7" N

The Mendocino Coast is home to one of the tallest lighthouse towers in the west. Dramatically perched on a narrow peninsula, the Point Arena Lighthouse Tower is 115 ft. high. Erected in 1870, destroyed by the 1906 earthquake, and rebuilt the following year, it was the first lighthouse to be made of steel and concrete.
The lighthouse is located at 45500 Lighthouse Road, one mile north of the city of Point Arena and 135 miles north of San Francisco. # (G 4358)
