west
of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, California. Point Bonita was the site of the first fog signal on the Pacific
coast
. The fog signal, which went into service on August 8, 1855, was an army surplus cannon fired every half hour in foggy weather. Point Bonita was the third
light
house
built in the San Francisco Bay area (in 1855) and was unique. The original tower, built separate from the residence, provided a lonely existence for the initial
light
keepers. There were no inhabitants for five miles and no direct communication. It was so inhospitable that seven keepers were employed within the first nine months of the operation of the
light
. Point Bonita was the last manned
light
house
on the California
coast
. The last keeper left in April 1981. It is now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is run by the National Park Service. The
Coast
Guard continues to maintain the
light
