Depending on how you measure it, the California coastline is 840 miles to 3,427 miles long (the latter figure includes inlets and bays).
Enhancing the coastline’s spectacular appeal are many historic lighthouses and light stations protecting vessels from large rocks, prominent points, and other hazards.
