Yaquina Bay State Park

Northern Oregon Coast


Situated on a bushy bluff above the north entrance of the bay, this park is popular for beach access and views over Yaquina Bay. Visit the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse – not to be confused with the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, 3 miles north – built in 1871. The living quarters are preserved as an informal museum.
