Coquille River Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse in Bandon, Oregon, US.
The Coquille River Lighthouse stands 47 feet tall with an elongated octagonal shape and arched window heads near the Pacific Ocean entrance.
The lighthouse began operations in 1896 to guide maritime traffic through the dangerous Coquille River bar, which had shifting sands and shallow waters.
The structure represents maritime heritage as the final government lighthouse constructed on the Oregon coast, marking the end of an important construction period.
Visitors can explore the lighthouse from mid-May through September between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with dedicated parking available north of the building.
During the 1936 fire that destroyed Bandon, the lighthouse grounds served as a refuge center while the keeper transported residents across the river.
