The Cape Blanco Lighthouse, the oldest and continuously operating lighthouse in Oregon, sits on a large bluff above the cape.

It's also noted for being both the southernmost and westernmost lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. All points left of the lighthouse in Oregon are officially the Pacific Ocean.

Cape Blanco State Park hosts the lighthouse along with a variety of recreational activities.

Park facilites include electric outlets for RVs. Bring the horses, along with humans, they are welcome on many local trails.
