About Coquille River Lighthouse

The Coquille River Lighthouse stands at the end of Bullards Beach Road, where the river meets the ocean. The U.S. Coast Guard built it in 1896, and it operated until 1939. Its signal room is staffed by volunteers during the warmer months, who share the history of the area. The tower itself is closed to visitors for safety reasons. Oregon State Parks manages the lighthouse as part of Bullards Beach State Park, which offers beach access, trails, and camping nearby.
