Point Arena Lighthouse

Compassion, Courtesy, and Miracles This was, by far, the best trip my partner and I have ever been on, and had it not been for the staff at Point Arena Lighthouse, it likely wouldn’t have happened at all. We had a family emergency and knew we had to cancel. The staff were so gentle and understanding, and even allowed us to try to offer the trip to my sister-in-law instead so it wouldn’t go to waste, but unfortunately she wasn’t able to go either. With broken hearts and exhausted spirits, we gave up. But suddenly, without warning, an opportunity for our kiddo opened up and we were able to get them into the right support SIGNIFICANTLY earlier than we were told we’d be able to!! We jumped at the opportunity and our kiddo was in! We got home, sat down, and realized that we’d not be busy after all, and the staff graciously let us take back our notice of cancellation at the very last minute! Every staff member we engaged with was kind and professional, and the property cat even let my partner pet her! The views are UNREAL. Pro-tip: make a piping hot cup of coffee and hike the gazebo trail. Flocks of pelicans soaring at face-height, waves crashing against the cliffs, and seals basking in the sun below you. EPIC!! 2 days felt like a week of rest here. 10/10 will be back!!

Compassion, Courtesy, and Miracles This was, by far, the best trip my partner and I have ever been on, and had it not been for the staff at Point Arena Lighthouse, it likely wouldn’t have happened at all. My partner and I have a kiddo who has suffered mental health struggles their whole life, and who has recently taken a turn for the worse. We had this trip planned for months, but when we found ourselves back in and out of the ER again, we knew we had to cancel. The staff were so gentle and understanding, and even allowed us to try to offer the trip to my sister-in-law instead so it wouldn’t go to waste, but unfortunately she wasn’t able to go either. With broken hearts and exhausted spirits, we gave up.
