To celebrate this special season the Point San Luis Lighthouse Keepers is offering special tours during the entire month of December. Dedicated volunteers have lovingly festooned the Head Keepers Quarters and its attached Lantern Tower with Victorian period Christmas décor to enhance your tour experience. Docents in period appropriate attire will be present to assist your tour.
For the entire month December, we are offering these special holiday tours at no increased cost, and including complimentary holiday beverages and sweet treats.
