The tower was first lit in 1934 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Switched off in 2006, it stands on a small island off Cape Arago and is not open to the public.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Cape Arago overlook, Sunset Bay, 820 m (2,691 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.
