Yaquina Head Lighthouse
Yaquina Head Lighthouse is one of the most popular lighthouses along the Oregon Coast, and is located in the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. At 93-feet high, Yaquina Head is also the tallest lighthouse on the Oregon Coast.
Visitors should first set aside 45-minutes to visit the excellent Interpretive Center near the lighthouse. It’s then a short walk to the lighthouse along the headland, past Quarry Cove and Cobble Beach. Quarry Cove is a great place to view sea life in tide pools. Visitors can also take the stairs down to Cobble Beach to listen to black basalt rocks rumble in the surf. The final stop is the climb to the very top of Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
