Point Wilson Light Reactivated!
On October 29, 2025, Point Wilson’s fourth order Fresnel lens was relit! In 2007, the U.S. Coast Guard turned off the light that has burned since 1914. The lighthouse retired the VRB-25 marine beacon light that was mounted outside the lantern room.
Thanks to the efforts of the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Lighthouse Society, and Chad Kaiser who is a certified lampist, the light now shines 24/7. You will see its light signature with a 20 second white light followed by a red flash.
