Yaquina Bay Light, Wooden lighthouse at Newport, US.
The Yaquina Bay Light stands 16 meters tall at the mouth of the Yaquina River, constructed primarily of wood with attached living quarters.
First lit in November 1871, the lighthouse remained operational for three years before its decommission due to the construction of Yaquina Head Light.
The Lincoln County Historical Society successfully prevented the demolition of the lighthouse in 1946, leading to its transformation into a county museum.
The lighthouse opens to visitors within Yaquina Bay State Recreation Area, featuring paved trails and a parking lot at SW Government Street.
The structure maintains its position as the sole Oregon lighthouse with integrated living quarters in the same building.
