Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

We were recently staying in Pebble Beach visiting family when we went to the PT. SUR STATE HISTORIC PARK.
It is a beautiful area and the highlight of the day was the three hour guided tour of the Pt. SUR Light House.
Parking is available at the base of Pt. SUR, there are only about 40 people allowed into the parking area from the main road then the gate is closed.
We were split up into two groups each with a tour guide and off we went up the hill to the lighthouse, it is a good walk uphill with a few steps so if you have walking problems it would be a challenge. You walk about a mile
During the walk uphill our guide Tom stopped a few times and explained the history and nature of this wonderful area and the history and making of the lighthouse.
You could tell he was a man who enjoyed being a volunteer guide, he really knew his stuff and was very easy to understand, one of the best guides we have ever had anywhere.
Once up the top there is a lot to see , apart from the lighthouse there are the homes that the lighthouse family lived in and other interesting buildings, go and see for yourself.
The day that we did the tour was very rough, one of the worst apparently, lots of fog which made visibility poor , did not see the lighthouse until we were nearly at the top. The wind was bad and it was very cool, so we did not see much of the coastline from up there.
I think that is what made the tour more unique, easy to see the area in great conditions but to experience it under bad weather conditions was special, really gives you a feel what it must have been like at times for the light keeper and his family living on this isolated point many years ago .
Interestingly after we left the area and continued on along the coast the sun was out and it was a glorious warm day.
The point just showed us its own identity.
Loved the tour, highly recommended .

This is a must if you're nearby. The guided tour was really interesting and the volunteer docents really know their stuff. It's a steep climb but with plenty of rest stops. Fantastic views from the top with some really interesting period buildings to explore. It's only open for tours on certain days, and you can't reserve. As others have said, you line your cars up by the side of the road and they let people in until they're full, so get there early!

Volunteers are doing an amazing job rehabbing this historic facility. Tour is about 3 hours long, and there is a fairly steep climb from the base of the rock to the lighthouse - along the way you'll stop frequently for interesting historic insights from the docent.
Great history and wonderful views of the ocean and coast.

The walk up to the lighthouse was fairly steep and challenging but well worth it. Our tour guide, Tom, was friendly and knowledgeable. He provided an interesting and informative tour. While the walk up the path was a little difficult he stopped periodically at just the right time to share information about the light station. The views from the top were so memorable..a bucket list experience!

The lighthouse is open only on a guided tour by volunteer docents. Arrive 30-45 minutes before the tour is to begin. They limit the tour to 30 people on a first come first serve basis. No reservations. Line up at the gate along the road in your car. The docent opened the gate around 9:30 am and directed us to the parking area. We guides were well informed and the tour lasted about 3 hours. We were able to visit the lighthouse and head lighthouse keeper's quarters. The tour is offered only on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays, so plan ahead. It was fascinating to hear about the USS Macon crash. The cost is $15 pp. Donations are welcome by the nonprofit to help restore the light station.

Getting to this lighthouse is by tour only. No reservations accepted. Right now, tours are 3 times a week, led by volunteer docents. The website says arrive before the scheduled tour time. I arrived about 45 minutes early. Some people ended up being turned away because only 30 people can tour at a time. This place is not well marked, expect to miss the sign at least once. When your GPS indicates you're getting close and you see a line of cars parked on the side of the road, get in that line! Chances are, you're in the right place. The sign on the gate is small. The volunteers will open the gate a few minutes before the scheduled tour time and admit the cars, first come, first served until the 30 person limit is reached. It's not possible to get inside the grounds any other way. The tour is 2 to 3 hours and cost is $15/person. If you like lighthouses, this is an awesome tour.

Pretty to look at from afar. Wish they had more tours. Would have loved to see it up close. Great old lighthouse.

On our drive to Big Sur, we enjoyed seeing the Point Sur Lighthouse. It is located 361 feet above the surf on volcanic soil. It was first lit on August 1, 1889.

Be very cautious and do not leave any valuables in car as this area is targeted by criminals and thieves who smash car window and grab everything in cars. Apparently happens several times a day as it did to us. We had rented an SUV and that makes it very easy to smash the back window and grab everything inside. If renting a vehicle I will always rent a vehicle with a trunk from now on.

Growing up on the Monterey Peninsula, I had driven down the coast hundreds of time, always seeing the lighthouse and wondering what it was like. Many years passed before finally getting a tour. A great experience. The history portrayed within and the views from without made for a great completed bucket list wish.
