Lighthouse · Marin County, California
Point Blunt Light is a lighthouse in Marin County, California. California has 52 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 6 of them in Marin County.
Its light sits 59 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl G 5s (a green flash every 5 seconds); it guards San Francisco Bay.
Status check, 2026-11: The station dates from 1915, but today's light and foghorn sit on the roof of a low Coast Guard building from about 1960 rather than a traditional lighthouse tower. I couldn't confirm whether the 1915 structure survives, and the 60 ft figure is the light's height above water, not the structure's height. It stands at 37.8531° N, 122.4191° W.
