Lighthouses on the Air!

August is full of reasons to celebrate Pigeon Point: San Mateo County Victorian Days, National Lighthouse Day, and International Lighthouse-Lightship Weekend! Join us for a Victorian Days History Tour of the lighthouse grounds. Meet in front of the first hostel. Hear tales of whalers, bootleggers, shipwrecks, the building of the lighthouse, the “Wickies” and their families. Difficulty: Moderate. Ground is mainly flat, but uneven and it is not entirely paved. ADA accessible.  Register Here

Come early or stay late to participate in games and crafts that lightkeepers' families would have entertained themselves with in the 19th century. Finally, lighthouses and lightships all over the world will connect on radio this weekend. The La Honda Radio Club will be at Pigeon Point giving us the opportunity to talk to other lighthouses!

The event runs from 12pm-4pm

This event is made possibly by Coastside State Parks Association, San Mateo County Historical Association, La Honda SC4 Amateur Radio Club, and Hostelling International USA.
