| Along Oregon coast the U.S. Coast Guard has or had in the past, ten lighthouses. Most of them no longer work as they have been replaced by unman equiptment on the coast or at sea. |
|---|
| Al except one are set up as parks and any person can go there and take some good pictures. Cleft of the Rock Lighthouse is privately owned and is not open to the public. You can not get to the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse because it is off the coast in the ocean. The Coast Guard had a time getting there and some times the crew could not get off or on for weeks at a time. |
