This was the first lighthouse on the Oregon Coast originally built on the north pit of the river in 1857. It fell into the river in 1861 after the sand eroded under the foundation. The current structure with 65-foot tower overlooks sand dunes from 165 feet elevation on south side of the bay. Lens emits distinctive red and white automated flashes.
This is looking up into the lens at the top of the lighthouse.
Views were awesome! We were told we might see whales here...... but
we didn't.
