Battery Point Lighthouse

The Battery Point Lighthouse is not just a historical site but also a symbol of Crescent City's maritime legacy. Built in the late 1800s, it has guided ships safely through the coastal waters for more than a century. Today, the lighthouse is fully restored and open to the public as a museum, featuring exhibits on the city’s shipping history, artifacts from shipwrecks, and personal stories from past lighthouse keepers.

Tourism

Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse for a stunning 360-degree view of the ocean and the Waterfront District. On calm days, it’s possible to spot whales migrating offshore or fishing boats returning to the harbor. The lighthouse park is a popular spot for families, artists, and anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Crescent City’s rugged coastline.
