Our vacation Part 3 East Brother Light Station, CA

We drove from Pt. Reyes to the San Pablo Harbor in Richmond, CA where we were 1 of 4 couples spending the night on the island. The innkeeper came and picked up 2 couples at a time for the 10 minute boat ride.
Here's our bedroom on the 2nd floor. It looked out on the Marin Harbor.
The view from our window included guano rock and seagulls floating on the breeze.
The sitting room is next to the game room near our bedroom.
We read here before going to bed.
The East Brother Light Station was built in 1873.
It is a working lighthouse B&B (the only one in CA)
We had a private bath, but were not allowed to shower
since the only water supply is from rain that is caught in the cistern on the island.
The wind was so strong it blew us sideways!
The full moon rose on the water. A perfect evening!
We went up into the light tower several times.
It was really fun to SLEEP in a lighthouse!
I would recommend it!
The innkeepers worked very hard fixing snacks, a 3-course dinner and gourmet breakfast!
We felt spoiled. :-)

It looks so lovely and very interesting, too. Yes, I guess they'd have to feed you all meals, since there's no where to zip out to for dinner!
