Cape Blanco Lighthouse and State Park

The Cape Blanco Lighthouse is a favorite location for whale watching and offers spectacular views. The operating lighthouse has the highest focal plane above the sea, (256 feet), of any of the Oregon Lighthouses and is open for tours from April through October. From this vantage point and from the cliff, there is ample opportunity for bird and whale watching.

Built in 1898, the historic Hughes House is also located at the park with tours available while the lighthouse is open.

There is fishing access to Sixes River from the State Park.

The Cape Blanco State Park has over 8 miles of hiking trails, beach walks, and 7 miles of horse trails.

Cape Blanco State Park is located 4 miles north of Port Orford west of US Route 101. Turn west on Cape Blanco Road and drive 2 miles to the park entrance. All campsites are first-come, first-served. 53 electrical (maximum site 65 feet) for RV's. To reserve cabins, horse campsites or the group camp, call 800-452-5687.
