Detailed Description

Outcrops of Eocene conglomerate and sandstone are well exposed near the Lighthouse Visitor Center. The conglomerate and sandstone represent deep-sea canyon and upper submarine-fan deposits. Large, barren cement surfaces near the Lighthouse Visitor Center were used to trap rainwater for storage in cisterns to supplement
the water needs of the lighthouse staff.
