Review:
The light station at Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park is situated on a headland overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It was established in 1909 when increased shipping traffic meant regular shipwrecks. The station consists of the lighthouse and attached fog signal building, parts of which have been converted into a museum and gift shop. The first assistant keeper's house is a museum depicting life at the station in the 1930s. The former blacksmith and carpentry work space houses a 240 gallon aquarium stocked with local sea life. The light keeper's cottage and three other dwellings are available as overnight accommodation. The park is open all year round.
