Summary: This short hike is great not just because of the cute lighthouse and the amazing views of the ocean, but also because it is a great jumping off point for the Oregon Coast Trail. Hike the 1/2 mile trail up to the lighthouse, enjoy the views and then head from there up the OCT toward ponsler wayside for some awesome ocean scenery. Trailhead: This trail is almost impossible to miss. apx. seven miles north of Florence on hwy 101, just past the sea lion caves you will see the turnout for devels elbow state park. park at the day use parking unless you plan on hiking part of the Oregon coast trail.

Reviewed by Alice on 7/18/2007 Would like Photo of Lighthouse. I live in Louisna& there are no lighthouse here!
Reviewed by Stephanie on 8/4/2004 Breathtaking! I highly recommend this to all. If you choose the right day there will be just a handful of people around, and during the summer there are tours of the lighthouse offered. I believe it is 11am-4pm most days. This is the shortest, strongest lighhouse on the oregon coast, and it's light can be seen the farthest out at sea...there are also rumours of a resident ghost....Have fun!!!
