Trinidad Head Light
Trinidad Head Light, Coastal lighthouse in Humboldt County, California, US
The Trinidad Head Light features a square brick tower painted white, rising 25 feet with a focal height of 196 feet above sea level.
The Trinidad Head Light, constructed in 1871, played a crucial role in maritime navigation along the Northern California coast through multiple decades of operation.
The National Register of Historic Places includes this lighthouse and its fog signal building as significant markers of American maritime architectural development.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds through a designated trail system while the automated beacon continues to guide maritime traffic along the coast.
In 1914, a massive wave struck the lighthouse, reaching the tower's balcony and temporarily extinguishing the light for four hours.
