Lighthouses on the Oregon Coast

Cape Blanco Lighthouse is situated just a few miles from Port Orford; the cliff-top structure is the oldest standing lighthouse in the state of Oregon. Initially operated in 1870, the light from this beacon has prevented many seafarers from foundering on Cape Blanco's rocky coastline. Visitors can enjoy tours April through October, on Thursday through Monday. The lighthouse is located within Cape Blanco State Park, which offers a full-service campground that includes yurts, cabins, and RV hookups. Walking trails, fishing, bird watching, and picnicking are among the recreation opportunities available in the state park.
