Point Vicente Light, Maritime lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes, United States

The Point Vicente lighthouse stands 20 meters tall on the Pacific coast, featuring a white cylindrical tower made of concrete with a Fresnel lens.

Built in 1926 and registered as a National Historic Place in 1980, the lighthouse had its light source concealed during World War II.

The lighthouse museum, operated by the United States Coast Guard, displays maritime artifacts and documents chronicling the California coastal navigation history.

Visitors can explore the lighthouse grounds on the second Saturday of May and first Saturday of April, with guided tours available.

The third-order Fresnel lens, manufactured in Paris by Barbier, Benard, and Turenne, produces two white flashes every twenty seconds.
