On Bandon Bay

Coquille River Lighthouse stands watch at the entrance of the South jetty along Bullard's beach in Bandon, Oregon.

 

Commissioned in 1896 and designed by Carl Leick, the light guided mariners to find the dangerous bar at the mouth of the Coquille River. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1939, following completion of improvements to the river channel. It is currently maintained by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department as part of Bullards Beach State Park.
