Experience MORE than a working lighthouse. Check out the nature display center with a live tide pool aquarium, whale bones, and seasonal wildlife displays. Pack a lunch and binoculars. The colony of harbor seals below the lighthouse are always entertaining and it is a great location to watch for whales and porpoises.
Play on the beach. Challenge the kids to build architectural masterpieces of sand and driftwood or bring frisbees and kites to romp and play in the sand.

A magical journey from the sea to the redwoods. Don't miss a walk on the headlands where the Devil's Punchbowl froths and sprays salt water into the air. The waterfall hike is 5+ mile round trip through a rain forest of redwoods and ferns and is great exercise for the body and soul.
Step back in time to the early days of life on the Mendocino Coast. Marvel over photos of loggers of years past posing with gigantic trees that they cut with hand saws and ladies in billowing dresses riding on zipline carts to ships in the harbor.
Playful learning experiences abound through science games. From butterfly nets to tangrams, kites, and top quality optics, the possibilities are endless for playful exploration and learning.
