Point Bonita is part of the largest urban national park in the United States, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). A secret jewel of the Bay Area, Point Bonita is still an active lighthouse. The U.S. Coast Guard maintains the lighthouse and the National Park Service provides access to visitors.

Point Bonita Lighthouse is reached by a half-mile trail that is steep in parts. Discover Point Bonita’s wild landscape, geology and fascinating history. The tunnel halfway to the lighthouse is open from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sundays and Mondays. Evening tours are set to resume in May 2022 and will require reservations. The tour fees are $16 for adults, $10 for children, and $8 for seniors.
