Overview

Walton Lighthouse (Santa Cruz Breakwater Lighthouse) stands at the entrance to the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor, built in 2001 with a gift from businessman Charles Walton in memory of his brother. It is a pleasant harbor stop, not to be confused with the older Santa Cruz Light above Steamer Lane.
