POINT PINOS lighthouseis is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the west coast. Since February 1, 1855, its beacon has flashed nightly as a guide and warning to shipping off the rocky California coast. The present light source, located 89 feet above sea level, is a 1000 watt bulb, which is amplified by the lenses and prisms to produce a 50,000 candlepower beam visible under favorable conditions up to 17 miles distant. Formerly, the light had a rigid schedule of being lit one hour prior to sunset, and extinguished one hour after sunrise.
