We hadn’t planned on stopping at the lighthouse, but decided to visit at the last minute. Since one couldn’t go in the lighthouse itself, walking around the grounds didn’t take long. The grounds and lighthouse are well maintained.

Friend and I were in the area exploring and I live lighthouses. Out side of the cold damp day the was a very nice lighthouse and surrounding area was scenic. If you go to the lighthouse and I highly recommend you do make sure you visit the tide pools also.

If you were in the area of Newport or Depoe Bay, this lighthouse, and the surrounding State Park area are well worth a visit. Seven dollars admission and well worth it. The first stop is the interpretive center. Thereafter, you drive to the lighthouse. Parking can sometimes be a challenge but if you wait a while you will find a spot. The lighthouse is automated, and there is no entrance. But you can get nice photographs of the lighthouse and the coast line. And there are stairs down to the beach and the tide pools. All in all a very pleasant time here.

Loved the various views that were to be had. Beach, lighthouse, whales wowzers!. There is a day fee to enter the park area, but there is a lot to see. Great for friends or a little romantic get-away.

Very cool stop. They give you a nice guided tour with the history of the lighthouse and the area. We're very happy we stopped there. The visitors center was terrific as well. Two short films at the visitors center were quite interesting.
