If you’re researching and planning a trip around Oregon by now I’m sure you’ve read about several Lighthouses. Oregon has wonderful ones. A trip to see them all would be great - but if you can only do one or two at a time that’s enough to give you the feel for their pull. This one and the surrounding area/scenery is gorgeous. Allow for time to walk the nearby beach. Oregon is all about the coast, beaches (though not for swimming), lighthouses, seafood… oh see what you’ve done? I’m off and running and wanting to do another trip myself. Sigh.
