Point Diablo Light, Wooden lighthouse in Marin County, US.
Point Diablo Light stands on the northern side of the Golden Gate Bridge, featuring a cylindrical post that rises 85 feet with a small platform.
The United States Lighthouse Service constructed this navigational structure in 1923 to guide vessels through the hazardous waters near the Golden Gate entrance.
The lighthouse forms part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, drawing photographers and maritime enthusiasts who document California's coastal infrastructure.
The lighthouse operates on solar power and generates an iso white light every 6 seconds, functioning as an essential navigational aid for maritime traffic.
Due to its position on steep headlands, photographers need specialized equipment with long lenses to capture images of this remote structure.
