Many people traveling along Highway 1 make the turn at the now decommissioned Naval Facility Point Sur expecting to drive up to the lighthouse tours. This is not the turn (go 1/4 mile North).
Cache is off the highway, but before you get to the perimeter fenceline, along the access road. No public access to the grounds are permitted for safety reasons (buildings have deteriorated beyond repair, and await demolition) - please stay out of the fenced areas, or this cache will be taken down!!
Naval Facility Point Sur, California was commissioned 8 January 1958. During its twenty-six years of operation, it provided continuous support to Undersea Surveillance. Located twenty-five miles south of Monterey, California along scenic Highway 1, the facility was manned by ten officers, ninety-six enlisted and 18 civilians. The command was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation in 1969, the Efficiency “E” in both 1977 and 1983, and was also rated as the top Naval Facility in 1983 by COSP, achieving the system’s first “clean sweep” of operations, maintenance, and efficiency awards given by the task group commander. NAVFAC Point Sur was decommissioned 1 October 1984 upon remoting to NAVFAC Centerville Beach.
Cache has been placed to provide awareness of the historic nature of this site's contribution to the cold war, and the Naval Postgraduate School contact for the facility is aware of it's placement.
