Cattle Point Lighthouse
Cattle Point Light
A small lighthouse on the southernmost headland of San Juan Island, backed by the Olympic Mountains, with standout sunsets and starry skies.
Cattle Point Light was built in 1935 on a rocky headland at the island's southern tip, surrounded by open grass and sand dunes. On clear days you can see the Olympic Mountains and Lopez Island in the distance. It is about a 5-minute walk from the roadside parking area, and admission is free. Combine it with American Camp and South Beach, and the nearby Cattle Point natural area has short trails.
