Driving down the South Coast of Oregon

Once we left the town of Yachats we entered what is considered the South Coast of Oregon. We passed the towering sand dunes of the Oregon Dunes National Park and lots of little coastal cities. The views are just amazing, ocean views, rocks, mile after mile of beauty.
The last couple of lighthouses on our list were all along the way.


Umpqua River Lighthouse - Winchester Bay (mile 215.6)


Cape Arago Lighthouse -  This one gave us a wild goose chase. We had to leave 101 and drive 12 miles to where is was suppose to be located but we did not see any lighthouse. We went to the viewing spot before Shore Acres but saw nothing. Its a mystery



Coquille River Lighthouse - Brandon (mile 259.2)


Cape Blanco Lighthouse - Port Orford (mile 296.6) Our last lighthouse along the Oregon Coast.
It was a lovely stop with some great views, even got to see a black tailed deer and her babies.

Next stop Gold Beach - mile 328
