East Brother
Light Station
Location:
Perched atop an island between San Francisco and
San Pablo Bays
Description:
East Brother Lighthouse, or more accurately a Light
Station, is a beautifully restored Victorian
Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast Inn perched atop an
island in the straits that separate San Francisco
and San Pablo Bays. It is operated by a non-profit
corporation for the benefit of the public. While
only minutes from shore (accessible only by boat)
and less than an hour from San Francisco, this
historic lighthouse is close enough for a weekend
jaunt and yet a world away. Once on the island,
visitors take in the spectacular views of the San
Francisco skyline, Mount Tamalpais, and the Marin
coastline.
Funds earned by the bed & breakfast, through
its non-profit corporation, go toward the upkeep of
the island. In addition, the hard work and
dedication of many volunteers make the preservation
of the 130-year-old Light Station possible. Five
rooms are available on East Brother Island. Four
are former keeper's quarters located in the
historic lighthouse itself. Each room, named for
its view, is unique in decor and has a queen-sized
bed. A smaller, more rustic room, known as Walter's
Quarters, is located in the fog signal building. A
gourmet multi-course dinner is one highlight of an
evening's stay!
