The Point San Luis Light Station, near Avila Beach, is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Lighthouse is currently accessible through a docent led 3.5 mile round-trip hike on the Pecho Coast Trail. Access is restricted to guided hikes only. Individuals and families (children 9 and up) are invited to join the hike on a first come, first served basis on Saturday mornings at 9:00 a.m. Water, hiking shoes, and the ability to complete a fairly strenuous 3.5 mile (round trip) hike are required. No pets or smoking are allowed. For more information about these hikes please call 541-TREK. Tours of the lighthouse itself are available every Saturday in conjunction with the docent led hikes. There is a suggested donation of $3 per person for the tour.
