Santa Barbara Lighthouse

The original Santa Barbara Lighthouse was a showplace that was enjoyed by the community, and respected by the Lighthouse Board. Meticulously maintained for forty years by

Julia F. Williams, one of California's great light-keepers,

the lighthouse was destroyed during an Earthquake in 1925.

The lighthouse was ultimately replaced with a metal tower

which is located across the street from the lights original location.

Still in use, this tower sits in the backyard of a USCG housing unit

and is not open to the public.

The tower is visible from the bridge in La Mesa Neighborhood Park.
