π 31550 Palos Verdes Drive West
Located on the southwest point of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is one of the most visited sites on the hill. The lighthouse attracts tourists and locals year-round.
Oh, and painters who enjoy capturing its beauty. π¨
In 1923, the federal government purchased 13 screws of the Palos Verdes Project land to construct a lighthouse and other buildings on the property. (Three homes for employees plus four smaller storage buildings)
The goal was to lighten up the irregular coastline between San Pedro and Redondo Beach. The total cost was $100,000. The lighthouse stands at 67 feet high, and has 800,000 candlepower units, and was said to be visible for 20 miles out to sea in clear weather!
Today, Point Vicence Light still sends out its beacon across the Catalina Channel! On November 17, 1979, Point Vicente Lighthouse was added to the National Registry of Historic Sites
