Battery Point Lighthouse

 

Located in beautiful Del Norte County, the Battery Point Lighthouse is poised on a small island just off shore. The lighthouse has been maintained in a state of excellent repair, and can only be accessed during low tides. Visitors crossing the two hundred feet between the mainland and the island should use extreme caution. Rogue waves may cover the crossing area at any time threatening visitors standing on or near the rocks as well as the shore of Battery Point Island. There are currently no public restroom facilities

available on Battery Point Island.

The lighthouse, is located at the foot of A Street in Crescent City and is open April through September, tides permitting.

Museum hours are 10 AM to 4 PM, Wednesday through Sunday.
