Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest continuous operating lighthouse on
the California Coast. 'Pinos' means pines, as in tree and there
are a lot of them down to the coast here in the Pacific Grove and
Monterey area down south along Highway 1. It is no longer a residence
as the light is now automated. It is now part of the Pacific Grove
Museum. Image is viewed from the West, 'ocean side'. |
