Yaquina Bay Lighthouse

Yaquina Bay lighthouse was built in 1871, but is no longer in use today. Due to this, a few ghost stories have been told about this particular lighthouse. Visitors can tour the lighthouse itself, as well as a gift shop in its basement and its antique period furniture.

Yauina Lighthouse

Dsc01972_small

The trip up is a bunch of stairs and steep.
Good parking, usually enough. Very scenic view.
The volunteers will give you a good history of the lighthouse, ghosts and all. Nice bathrooms on site. Clean and modern.
It was a nice 1 or so trip to tour.

The Lighthouse

It's a steep walk, stairs up to the lighthouse.
But, it has a ghostly interesting story. The tour volunteers are very informative.

Good parking. Good view.

There's a great view of the Yaquina Bay bridge right from the parking lot. Take the short trail through the evergreens see the coast and a striking view of the lighthouse.
