Pigeon Point Lighthouse
is the
tallest lighthouse
(tied with
Point Arena Light
) on the West Coast of the United States, located in
San Mateo County
, California. It stands on a rocky promontory and has long been a landmark for ships approaching
San Francisco Bay
from the south. This headland, and hence the lighthouse, took its name from the ship
Carrier Pigeon
, which was wrecked here in 1853.
