    One of our favorite places we went to on our trip. The journey long and slow down the mountain you go. Make sure your brakes don’t get overheated! Plenty of places to pull over for pics and to cool off your brakes if needed. You are rewarded with the most amazing experience. A few pics by the lighthouse and a little baby hike down to the beach and you will marvel at everything you will see. Sea lions, pelicans, crabs, anemone all against a breathtaking backdrop.

    Great little spot to catch some lighthouse history. Sadly it wasn’t opened when we visited, but it was still fun to see. Checkout the trail to the coast just beyond the lighthouse. There are picnic tables and a nearby bathroom. Pack your own lunch or visit the nearby deli a short walk up the hill.

    I drove from the Humboldt Redwoods to visit the Cape
    Mendocino Lighthouse at
    Shelter Cove.

    The small historic lighthouse
    was moved from its original location in 1998 to Shelter
    Cove and restored in order
    to preserve it.

    A trail from the lighthouse
    takes you to tidepools, and
    a rocky beach with crashing
    waves with a number of
    offshore islands.

    The rugged Kings Range and
    the Lost Coast Trail are
    located in the area for
    adventure seekers.

    The lighthouse is located at
    Mel Coombs Park with picnic
    tables, BBQ pit, and pit toilets.

    The lighthouse is open from
    Memorial Day to Labor Day.

    A nice day trip from the Redwoods to stop and visit
    a historic lighthouse located
    on the isolated Lost Coast.
