“Point Arena Lighthouse provides more than just a stay; it's an immersion into coastal history and raw natural beauty. The updated interiors of the apartments offer modern comfort against the backdrop of a weathered, working lighthouse. I found the chance to explore the adjacent trails and the town itself compelling reasons to linger.”
