Point Arena Light in California, USA
The jigsaw coastline of Point Arena, a small coastal city in Mendocino County, California, nearly demands a lighthouse to warn ships away from the danger. Luckily, the Point Arena Light has been on the job since 1870. After the original tower was damaged by an earthquake in 1906, a new lighthouse, standing 115 feet tall, was built and began operation in 1908. Today, visitors can tour the lighthouse and pop into its small museum and gift shop.
