See the Mendocino Coast by Moonlight at Point Arena Lighthouse

Experience one of the Mendocino Coast’s most iconic landmarks after dark during the (almost) Full Beaver Moon Night Tour at Point Arena Lighthouse on November 21, 2026.

Gates open at 4:30pm., with the tour beginning around 5pm. Guests can climb to the lantern room at the top of the historic lighthouse tower and take in panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding coastline. If Mother Nature cooperates, the nearly full moon makes the scenery even more spectacular. Tickets are listed at $50 per person.

Bundle up and make an evening of this distinctly Mendocino experience. Between the rugged coastline, historic lighthouse and moonlit Pacific, it’s a wonderful way to experience the quieter beauty of the coast in late fall.
