Drenched in fog most of the year, this lighthouse is one of the foggiest in the country, and is a great whale-watching spot in the fall and spring.

Hi, does anyone know if we need to make reservations to see the lighthouse? I tried visiting their website it seems the info is from 2015?
A:
I don't think you have to make reservations, but the lighthouse is closed in windy weather. If you go, be prepared to climb up and down exterior stairs along the cliff to reach it.
I have a sprained ankle and walking is very difficult. but my boyfriend and I have had a trip planned to Point Reyes for several months.What is there to do that doesn't require much walking or hiking? or that could accommodate a medical skooter?
A:
Concur with answers/suggestions already provided. Bottom line, the views are worth the trip. Hope the ankle recovers quickly for you v
Any More suggestions? we will be going to SF 3rd week of July and we may have a day to spareon Friday, possible 10-12 people, do you recommend to rent cars and go on our own o ?????

I most certainly would recommend renting a car. If you've never been to Monterey, that would be a great treat. You can visit the 17 Mile Drive on Pebble Beach. Along the way there's Santa Cruz, and I highly recommend taking Highway 1 from SF to Monterey, even as far as Big Sur. If you decide to primarily stay North of SF, then, of course there Big Sur, Napa Valley and the all the wineries along the North Coast. Have Fun.
I read somewhere that it is an hour drive from the entrance of the park to the lighthouse? Is that accurate?
A:
It may be less than an hour, but a beautiful drive. The day we were there it was very foggy at the light, but we waited for 30 minutes and it cleared a bit.
