The Point Bonita Lighthouse is located on the extreme southwestern tip of
the Marin Headlands. The lighthouse was constructed in 1855. It was the
third lighthouse to be built on the West Coast following Alcatraz and Fort
Point. Point Bonita is still an active lighthouse maintained by the United
States Coast Guard. Looking across the treacherous waters of the Gate is the
rugged coastal shoreline of Land's End. Following the shoreline to the
right, one can detect Seal Rocks standing offshore from the Cliff House, and
beyond that, the soft lights of the Avenues spilling down to Ocean Beach and
the Great Highway.
