A Message from Dr. Adeeb
“I believe a cinema should be more than a place to watch movies. It should be a place where neighbors become friends, and where every evening feels like a celebration.”

A Neighborhood Cinema Since 1987
Lighthouse Cinema has been a beloved staple of Pacific Grove since July 1987, when brothers John and Sal Enea opened its doors. For nearly four decades it has been more than a movie theater a place where first dates happen, friendships grow, and families share the magic of the big screen.
Under new ownership by Dr. Ayman Adeeb and his family, and with the dedication of a hard-working staff, Lighthouse Cinema is shining brighter than ever. Thank you, Pacific Grove, for your continued love and support.
See you at the theatre.
