CA-1 Piedras Blancas Elephant Seals & Lighthouse (#1260)

In the distance, the Piedras Blancas lighthouse. The lighthouse started operation in 1875; an earthquake in 1948 significantly damaged the building resulting in the tower being reduced by 70 feet. Visiting the lighthouse is by tour only and I’ve never been in the area at the time when tours are offered, so I haven’t been any closer than this.
