Episode Details

A century-old beacon on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the Point Vicente Lighthouse once stood as the nation’s finest navigational light — now weathering rust, lead paint, and the quiet decay of time. Though still active as a Coast Guard station, its original Fresnel lens is gone, replaced by automation, and its iron cupola is corroding. With dwindling funding and decades of neglect since automation took over, the lighthouse risks becoming a relic — until local advocates step in. The Friends of the Point Vicente Lighthouse are rallying to restore this historic symbol, estimating a multi-million dollar effort to preserve not just stone and steel, but a community’s soul. In a region prone to landslides, the lighthouse remains a steadfast guide — literally for ships, figuratively for the future.
