Get to Know HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse
The hostel with the cliffside hot tub you’ve heard about! Whether you’re looking for a peaceful coastal escape or an educational seaside adventure, HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse is the place to find it. At the foot of a 115-foot-tall lighthouse, the property offers shared dorms, private rooms, and full vacation-rental-style accommodations spread out over several buildings. Just 50 miles south of San Francisco along California’s gorgeous Hwy. 1, our scenic grounds feature beautiful native plants and panoramic ocean views.
To make the most of your stay, reserve a private time slot to soak in our cliffside hot tub. Traveling with the kids? We’ve got on-site tide pools, harbor seals, and a secluded beach perfect for the young and the young at heart. We’re surrounded by miles of hiking and coastal trails, and as a dark sky preserve, we’re also the perfect place to stargaze.
*Ongoing restoration work on the Pigeon Point Lighthouse occurs between 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. each day. As a result, there may be some vibrations, noise, and minor disruptions due to the construction during this period. We apologize for any inconvenience to our guests and thank you for your patience and understanding during the California State Park’s rehabilitation of the Lighthouse.
