Coquille River Lighthouse

The Coquille River Lighthouse is located on the Southern Oregon Coast, just 5 minutes north of the charming coastal town of Bandon. 

The lighthouse has a picturesque setting at the mouth of Coquille River in Bullards Beach State Park, located 2-miles south of the park entrance at the end of a coastal road.  This decommissioned lighthouse was built in 1896, and at 40-feet high is somewhat short in stature, but the true highlight is the distinctive octagonal quarters. The lighthouse is open for tours from May thru October (call 541 347 3501 for tours).

The lighthouse also provides easy access to the north jetty and miles of sandy beach.  The surf beach has a boat launch, and is also popular for beach-combing, fishing, crabbing, and mountain biking along the hard packed sand.
