Lighthouse and its museum is open to the public for tours including
opportunities to look into the personal quarters of keepers and their
families and the furniture and artifacts they have left behind since
the 1850's. Tours include a climb into the light tower. There are

that chronicle its history.  The Lighthouse is open April through
September, tides permitting, between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM,
Wednesday through Sunday. 




Point St. George Lighthouse-The only Off Shore Lighthouse in the World with Public Access.
In July, 1865, the coastal steamer Brother Jonathan sank on St. George Reef, with the loss of over 150 lives. As a result, planning was begun to place a lighthouse in these treacherous waters. Constructed between 1882-1892, St. George is called America's most expensive lighthouse, costing in excess of $700,000. Built on a small wave washed rock 6 miles off the coast near Crescent City, California, the lighthouse is composed of hundreds of individually cut granite blocks that were quarried nearly 100 miles South and transported to the site by steamer. Capped by a cast iron lantern room which housed a giant First Order lens, the structure rises 150 feet above the sea. 
Due to progress in restoration efforts, the SGRLPS is now offering helicopter flights and tours of the lighthouse to the public. Weather permitting, flights will depart from the Crescent City Airport in a four place Raven R-44 helicopter. Passengers enjoy a six-minute flight to the lighthouse then landing on a 42-foot wide section of the caisson roof near the base of the tower. From there they are greeted by Society representatives and taken for a one-hour tour.
