This is a gorgeous spot that is supposed to be publicly accessible. The iron fence with barbed wire and intense signage makes visitors feel unwelcome. If you arrive when the driveway gate is locked, you can just open the walk-through gate to the left to access the lighthouse and trail down to a beautiful beach area.

Point Montana was closed so we could not get close to the lighthouse. This picture was taken while my husband drove the car and I took endless pictures until I got one good one.

NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Despite this lighthouse being advertised as being public, the signage states otherwise. We arrived around 8:30 pm to the gate leading to driveway being shut but the door to left of the gate being wide open (unsure if it was supposed to be closed). But 11 signs were posted saying how this was NOT open to the public, it is open to the public IF you sign an online waiver, and how this lighthouse sits on the property of a hostel so trespassing is NOT tolerated.

Seemed like the property owners don’t want to share the beauty of this place,...

Had my wedding there just a few days ago and it was by far the most enjoyable day of my life. Absolutely stunning views and wonderful staff. I could not be any happier with our choice to have our special day here.

Not to mention, great rates on rooms, with the ability to rent out the entire hostel which enabled us to get all of our out of state family here for our wedding. Really incredible...

One of the safest places for solo travelers, you need a code to enter so anyone who is on the property is registered with the hostel, no randos around, and it's one of the few places near San Francisco where you can park overnight without worrying about car break-ins.
