Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Many years ago I would drive up Highway 1 from Santa Cruz to San Fransico with my young son to survey the sea conditions before racing my sailboat along that notorious section of coast. I kept him entertained during the drive with stories about monsters that inhabited the region. In stormy weather, Pigeon Point, the location of many shipwrecks, seemed a particularly desolate waypoint during our sojourns along “Monster Row”.


Capt. Marc, veteran of multiple ocean crossings, and instructional pro, invites you to join him for lessons and/or excursions under sail. By special arrangement only.

i would like to illustrate that story as my son loves the lighthouse and has driven that drive many times going from grandparent to grandparents house!
