A stop at any or all of these lighthouses is sure to make your visit to the Oregon Coast a delight. Don't forget to bring your camera, and plenty of film or storage media. A pair of binoculars will enhance your wildlife viewing. The Oregon Coast is usually cool and windy, making a hooded sweatshirt or earmuffs a good idea. Finally, after a day of salt spray and sand, a change of warm clothes, shoes, and clean socks will allow you to finish your lighthouse tour in comfort.
Lighthouses on the Oregon Coast
By Angela Brown, About.com Guide
Oregon's wild, rugged coast is home to a number of splendid and historic lighthouses. These much-photographed icons are among the many attractions a visitor can enjoy while touring Highway 101, the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway. Most of the beacons are in Oregon State Parks, which offer a range of recreational amenities. A visit to four or five of the lighthouses makes for an exciting day trip; viewing all of them is at least a two-day excursion.
