smile Visiting the Point Arena Lighthouse cool

Point Arena Lighthouse -- One of the globe's most dramatic and scenic lighthouses soars up from a rocky point near the Mendocino County line. You may bong up the 145-step iron staircase to the 115-foot-high pinnacle of this beauty; you can also make like a lighthouse keeper and find snug lodging in a cabin near its base. Each of the three-bedroom, two bath rentals includes a kitchen, wood stove and satellite TV. Cost: $210-$240 per night. Proceeds benefit lighthouse preservation. To just visit by day is $5 (general), $1 (children). Winter hours: 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. daily. (877) 725-4448, or www.pointarenalighthouse.com.
