Tour the inside of a lighthouse

I had the best time touring this lighthouse, and learning about the coast guard in the museum. It was worth the $8 admission and such a nice unexpected attraction when I came to see the beach and dunes. I would highly recommend a visit.

Great views

We stopped on our trip north on Hwy 101. We enjoyed checking out the lighthouse. We did not go on a tour. There is an active Coast Guard facility. Great views of the coast line. Worth a stop if you are into lighthouses.

Lighthouse tour and museum

Great tour and Museum. Thanks to our guide Brit! Gave a wonderful tour of the lighthouse well worth the price. Your tour admission includes access to the museum for a self guided tour. Bottom floor focuses on the history of the area and the lighthouse. The upper floor focuses on the coast guard presence in the area.

ADA violation and discrimination

me and my disabled veteran friend walked into the gift shop with his service animal and the manager followed us in saying we couldnt bring her in because he has an ‘open kitchen’ we repeatedly told him she is a service animal and he continued to harrass us until we felt so uncomfortable we had to leave. this an ada violation and that person should be fired.

Fun stop on the coast

We stopped here for a day trip while on the Oregon Coast with our family. We did take the lighthouse tour which cost $8 per adult and $4 for kids 12-17. The tour gave some history and let you explore the inside of the lighthouse including going up into the actual lens which was pretty awesome. We all really liked it and had a good time. We did go through the small museum which had some interesting items. The gift shop was good and the people there were friendly and helpful. We did try the clam chowder at the cafe and it was fabulous. This was a really fun stop.
