| Natural History
Long before maps and diaries were inked on Spanish galleons, the indigenous people, the
Ohlones, sang the name of this place: "Dancing on the brink of the world." For hundreds of years, 40 Ohlone tribelets lived on the coast, each with its own territory, language, and chief. The Spanish explorers called these tribes Costenos - coast people.
Later, English-speaking settlers changed the name to Coastanoans; today, many descendants call themselves
Ohlones. |

Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Next to the Pacific Ocean itself, Costanoa's most visible landmark is Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Three miles north of
Costanoa, this rather distinctive and flashy lighthouse has watched over the sheer cliffs and rocky shore since 1872. Its white tower has weathered shipwrecks, rumrunners, a fire, earthquakes, modern technology and even politics. It now stands as the second tallest lighthouse in the West and one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country. |
Pescadero
Ten miles north and east of
Costanoa, Pescadero was founded by Portuguese and Spanish settlers, who, knowing it was a favorite fishing spot of the Ohlone
indians, named it "Fishing Town." In 1856, pioneers from the east coast came to farm the area, contributing the distinctive New England architecture that still stands today. |
