Originally built in 1879, the Point Wilson Lighthouse has been automated since 1976 and is monitored by a computer located at the Coast Guard Air Station at Port Angeles. It’s a bit battered from sitting on the exposed point, and closed to the public except for scheduled weekend tours in the summer, but still guiding boats safely around the entrance to Admiralty Inlet, which connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound.
Located about 15 miles west of Port Angeles, this state park has something for just about everybody -- camping, hiking, picnicking, play park, tidepools, stunning views, and military history! And best of all, there's no entry fee or day use fee (though there is a fee for overnight camping).
Take a trip from Port Angeles, WA to Victoria, British Columbia aboard the Black Ball ferry. A short and scenic 90-minute sailing puts you in Victoria's Inner Harbor with so much to see and do.
