Coquille River Lighthouse
Coquille River Light
A white lighthouse built in 1896 on the north bank of the Coquille River mouth, facing old Bandon across the water and located within Bullards Beach State Park.
Built in 1896, Coquille River Light was one of the last lighthouses built on the Oregon coast. It was decommissioned in 1939, and its octagonal white tower connects to a fog signal house. It is now managed by Bullards Beach State Park, which opens the interior for visits in summer. The lighthouse stands beside the breakwater on the north side of the river mouth, facing old Bandon across the water, and is often photographed with waves crashing against the tower. The park has long beaches, campgrounds and bike paths; it is about a 10-minute drive from old town.
Opening hours
Park open by day; lighthouse about 11:00–17:00 in summer
