First lit in 1896 and shut down in 1939, the tower at the mouth of the Coquille River in Bullards Beach State Park shows a decorative light today. The working light for the river entrance is on the south jetty, across the river. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Bandon South Jetty Park, 383 m (1,256 ft) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. Oregon's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when Oregon arrives.
