lightkeeper's fence

 

Actually this fence now encloses park service buildings.  The original lightkeeper's house from the late 1800s is down 308 steps.  Since I could only see about 10 steps in the fog and barely stay upright from the strong winds, I've only seen the Point Reyes Lighthouse on the web.  By the way, I think the National Park Service took those pictures on the only day with sunshine.

This must be a good photograph because when I googled "Point Reyes" about a dozen similar images were on Flickr.  Or, like me, the photographers didn't find much else to shoot.

When I visited the Point Reyes Lighthouse on the northern California coast, I drove 20 miles through empty headlands, walked one-half mile from the parking lot and was rewarded with a view of FOG!
Point Reyes is the windiest place on the Pacific Coast and the second foggiest place on the North American continent.  My recommendation would be to tarry longer at the wineries and visit the lighthouse via the US Park Service website.
