The Point Arena Lighthouse is situated on the closest point of land to the Hawaiian Islands in the Continental United States. For a more unusual stay on the coast, try the Lighthouse vacation rentals. These accommodations are on the bluffs right below the lighthouse and offer incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and coastal mountains. The area offers wine-tasting tours, art galleries displaying art created by local artists, and seasonal farmer’s markets. Horse riding on the beach is also available in the area. During the spring and fall seasons whales, seals, sea birds, and many other types of wildlife can be seen.
