As a birthday gift this year, I requested to do a little lighthouse hunting. Now, I didn't make it up and down an entire coastline as I would have truly enjoyed, but I did get to see a few beautiful historical structures along the Pacific.
This particular solitary lighthouse is the Point Vicente Lighthouse. The 67 foot tower stands tall atop a grassy cliff on the southwestern-most tip of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, overlooking the channel. Its primary beam can be seen approximately 185 feet above the ocean ceiling and marks the northern end of the channel on the Pacific coast for ships passing through the area. In the distance, you can see Santa Catalina Island creating a beautiful, hazy backdrop.
Point Vicente Lighthouse was named after a friar friend of Captain George Vancouver in 1790, while he was exploring the Pacific coast for England. You can read more about its history and role in WWII on the Palos Verdes website: https://palosverdes.com/pvlight/
