The sun sets behind the historic Point Pinos lighthouse in Pacific Grove, Calif., on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011. The beacon has been guiding mariners sailing near the Monterey Peninsula's rugged coastline since 1855 and is the oldest continuously operating beacon on the west coast. For a suggested donation of $2, visitors can tour lighthouse Thursday through Monday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Photo: Paul Chinn, The Chronicle
