Why you should go…
Point San Luis Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse built in 1890 on the headland above San Luis Obispo Bay near Avila Beach. It operated as a working aid to navigation until the mid 1970s and was restored to museum quality in 1995. Since there is no public road access, visitors reach the site by a docent led van tour departing from Avila Beach, or by a longer guided kayak tour.
