Cape Blanco Light, Brick lighthouse in Curry County, Oregon, US
The lighthouse stands at a height of 18 meters above the Pacific Ocean at the westernmost point of Oregon, with walls constructed from locally made bricks.
Built in 1870, Cape Blanco Light served as a critical navigational aid, with its first keeper H.B. Burnap initiating operations on December 20 of that year.
The lighthouse complex includes the Hughes House, a Victorian farmhouse built in 1898, which illustrates the life of early settlers in Oregon's coastal region.
Visitors can take guided tours of the lighthouse and grounds from April through October between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM, except on Mondays.
The lighthouse beam reaches 22 nautical miles into the Pacific Ocean, marking Oregon's most westerly and highest elevation lighthouse position.
