Mark Abbot Memorial Lighthouse - Lighthouse on the beach - Santa Cruz, CA, USA

This portion of the California Coastal National Monument is part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
Named for a surfer who died here in 1965, Mark Abbott Memorial lighthouse stands at Point Santa Cruz, the cliff's major promontory. The Santa Cruz Surfing Museum is here, in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse, and just off the point, geography and ocean waves conjoin to create the waves at Steamer Lane that Santa Cruz is famous for.
Santa Cruz beaches can be foggy in early summer, sometimes all day long. So if you go to Lighthouse Field and Mark Abbot Memorial Light expecting to watch the surfers at Steamer Lane (near the surfer statue), you could be disappointed. Some days, the water at this internationally renowned surfing hotspot can be calmer than your bathtub.
