The Weekend Dispatch
Go see a lighthouse this weekend.
Tell us where you are and how much day you want. We’ll give you one confident California lighthouse trip, two backups, and the official details you need to leave the house.
Where are you starting?
What kind of day?
We use location only to rank the coast. It is never saved or sent to us.

The promise
A field guide that gets you into the field.
01
Small by design
Only stations with a genuinely strong visit and useful access details enter the dispatch.
02
Explain the choice
You get the reason it fits, the catch to know, and two alternatives—not an opaque score.
03
Hand off cleanly
The final word on hours, tickets, tides, and closures always belongs to the official keeper.
Want the whole coast instead?
