• Make the Journey Easier: Bus Days at Big Sable Point - skip the 2-mile hike and enjoy a scenic ride out to the lighthouse on bus days. This is one of the ways that Lakeshore Keepers makes an effort to ensure the lighthouses can be accessible to as many people as possible.
Dates include: July 12 and 24, and August 2, 14 and 30.
Buses run from noon to 4:30 p.m. and tickets are $6 round-trip for adults, $3 one-way, and $4 round-trip for students (17 and under), $2 one-way. (The tower climb ticket is not included.)
