West of Tillamook Head, this lighthouse was constructed on top of a rock in 1880. The construction of this particular lighthouse was thought to be incredibly risky, but its five workers beat the odds. Because this lighthouse was built on a rock, it is not accessible to the public. However, visitors can easily see it and a beautiful view of the surrounding ocean from Ecola State Park.
You can get a great view of the lighthouse (and of Haystack Rock) at Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach. There are several easy paths leading to the awesome views. Well worth the small park enterance fee.
