I went in Feb 2010. The gate was closed until an hour after sunrise. There are places you can park your car outside the gate, and it's a short walk to the lighthouse.

Across from the main gate is a baseball field and Little John Road. Drive down Little John Road about 300 feet to a small parking lot. Or you can go down Shore Road past the main gate to a secondary gate on your left. You can park right there and walk through a footgate (it's probably closer than the baseball parking).

IMHO, sunrise at Portland Head is a much better photo experience than sunset.

Thanks for the update, Ken. And I agree that sunrises are great at Portland Head!

I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day..... YEAH RIGHT, I didn't make anything.

I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn't complete the
survey.

These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn't believe they
were even allowed to sell such bogus products.

Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just
wants the "average Joe's" honest opinion on products and services
and is willing to pay big money to get them.

P.S. there is a video on the homepage that will explain everything.
If I were you I would at least check the video out and if you don't
make at least $300 in your first week they have a 2 month refund
policy so just get your money back!!! This is definitely worth a
look!

Trip Reports :: Point Bonita and Point Reyes from San Francisco
Author: kzirkel
Subject: Point Bonita and Point Reyes from San Francisco
Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 1:29 pm (GMT -4)

I visited San Francisco this week with my family. It was not primarily a lighthouse trip, but I got my family to agree to rent a car for a day and try to make it to both Point Bonita and Point Reyes. The day was Sunday, Feb 28.

Point Bonita is a beautiful and exquisite lighthouse, and well worth a visit. It's in a grand location, and it's a beautiful, exquisite little structure. You can't climb to the tower, but you can visit the building and chat with several park rangers at the station and see some small exhibits.

I was extremely disappointed, however, that I failed to make it to Point Reyes Light on the same day. The park service makes it rather difficult to visit both Point Bonita and Point Reyes in the same day (given a San Francisco start). It can be done, and I almost succeeded, but there are a lot of obstacles to such a trip.

Point Bonita is only open three days a week: Sat, Sun, Mon from 12:30-3:30. You can't access the lighthouse outside those hours, as there is a tunnel which is sealed during off-hours. There is also a foot bridge to the lighthouse, which at this time (it's scheduled to be rebuilt next year) only 2 people are allowed to cross at a time, so there is a long wait to get to the lighthouse itself, and another wait to get off. I spent about an hour and fifteen minutes at Point Bonita, from when it opened at 12:30 to roughly 1:45.

From Point Bonita, the drive to Point Reyes is something around 2 hours. I made the big mistake of taking Route 1, which is exceptionally windy, curvy, and slow. I should have taken Route 101, which is longer in distance but a faster drive. Being ignorant of these details, I decided to follow the advice of my GPS unit and take Route 1. If I had taken Route 101, it's possible I might have made it to Point Reyes sooner, but I'm not sure of that.

As it was, I arrived at Point Reyes around 3:20, which should have been just enough time to visit the light (the lantern room is open till 4, and the grounds till 4:30). But there was a catch: during the winter (Dec to April), you have to park away from the lighthouse at the Kenneth C. Patrick visitor Center and take a shuttle bus to visit the lighthouse. Tickets for the bus stop selling at around 3pm. So, even though there was a nearly empty shuttle bus sitting at the Patrick visitor center when I arrived at 3:20, I was not allowed to board it to visit the Point Reyes lighthouse.

There was an alternative available: I could have waited until 5:30 for the road to the lighthouse to open. However, since I was traveling with two exhausted, nauseous children, I decided to forgo waiting so late. My kids were feeling ill due to the windy drive up Route 1, and tired from a cross-country flight the previous day, and waiting till 5:30 would have meant a late drive back to San Francisco. The family had put up with a lot just to get me to Point Reyes. So I decided not to wait it out.

It does seem to me that the timings could be tweaked a bit to allow for families to visit both lighthouses in one day. The timing here is so tight, I'm not sure I would have made it, even if I had known about the 3pm cutoff for the shuttle (it's on the web site, but I didn't understand that the wording "Sir Francis Drake Boulevard is CLOSED" meant "You can't get to the lighthouse"). In retrospect, I would have had a much better day if I had spent my afternoon at Point Bonita and the Marin headlands, and given up on Point Reyes altogether.

Anyhow, I post this information for future lighthouse visitors who may try to follow in the future.
