The Umpqua River Lighthouse
was built in 1893. It stands 67 feet high and is one of the few lighthouses
that still uses the original lenses. Its beam can be seen 20 miles out
to sea and there’s a whale-watching platform to view California gray
whales during the annual migrations.
This unique area of windswept sand is the
result of millions of years of wind, sun, and rain erosion on the Oregon
Coast. Take an Oregon Dunes tour or rent an ATV at Pacific
Coast Recreation.
