Pillar Point Air Force Station is a minor, active-duty Air Force installation. It operates AN/FPQ-6 and AN/MPS-36 radars to track objects off the West coast.

Pillar Point is a peninsula with high cliffs that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The ocean waves here are often very high and are home to the Mavericks big wave surfing contest.
