Point Montara Light

The Point Montara Light is a lighthouse in Montara, California, United States, on the southern approach to the San Francisco Bay, California approximately 25 miles south of San Francisco.

In 1925, the cast iron tower from the discontinued Mayo Beach Light was disassembled and moved to Yerba Buena.

It was moved and rebuilt as the Point Montara Light station in 1928, where it stands today.

Personnel and dependents at Point Montara utilize Government medical facilities, commissary and post exchange in the San Francisco area.
