Point San Luis Light, Victorian lighthouse in Avila Beach, California.

The Point San Luis Lighthouse features white walls, red roofs, and stands on a promontory overlooking San Luis Bay on California's central coast.

The lighthouse began operations in 1890 after Congress allocated $50,000 for its construction, responding to increased maritime traffic at Port Harford averaging 400 ships annually.

The Prairie Victorian architectural design of Point San Luis Lighthouse represents maritime navigation infrastructure from the late 19th century on the Pacific Coast.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse through guided van tours on Wednesdays and Saturdays, or by hiking the Pecho Coast Trail with certified docents.

The fourth-order Fresnel lens produced alternating red and white flashes every 30 seconds, visible from 17 nautical miles across San Luis Bay.
