Trinidad Head Lighthouse, located in Trinidad, CA, is perched atop a 175-foot cliff on the beautiful Trinidad Head. Built in 1871, this historic lighthouse served as a vital aid to ships engaged in the lumber trade along the Redwood Coast. With its distinctive red flash every minute, the lighthouse guided vessels safely through the treacherous waters of Trinidad Bay.
Over the years, the lighthouse witnessed significant events, including the installation of a fog bell and a massive wave that struck the headland in 1914. With its rich history and stunning coastal views, Trinidad Head Lighthouse is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
