Yaquina Head Light, Historic lighthouse in Lincoln County, Oregon
The white brick lighthouse rises 28 meters above the Pacific Ocean cliffs, guiding ships with its fixed Fresnel lens from France.
The U.S. Lighthouse Board constructed Yaquina Head Light in 1873, and the facility transitioned to U.S. Coast Guard management in 1939.
The Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area attracts visitors from across the country to learn about maritime navigation and coastal ecosystems.
The Interpretive Center opens daily at 10 AM, offering guided tours for groups of 10 people on a first-come basis.
The lighthouse maintains its original 1868 French-made lens, projecting light visible for 31 kilometers across the Pacific waters.
