Yaquina Head Lighthouse is a lighthouse Newport located in United States.
NW Lighthouse Dr Newport , OR 97365 United States
We drove from cannon beach to florance and this was the most scenic spot we stopped. For best views , park at the interpretive center and walk to the lighthouse .
Such a beautiful area! We weren't aware that you could walk down on the beach to see the tide pools , so make sure you have on appropriate walking shoes to take advantage of all there is to see.
Stopped here on a whim as we drove up the Oregon coast. Well worth your time. Tidal pools to explore, gorgeous scenery and great views of a variety of wildlife , from birds to seals .
Beautiful view from lighthouse area and some history to learn of it from boards. Lots of fleas/flies but it’s part of nature. If you’re driving to the area, you have to pay $7 (a 3 day pass).
They don’t let you in, but looking at it is still pretty dope and worth the trip. Plus, some tide pools are nearby and it’s worth a stop for those too.
Trivia : There used to be a lightkeeper's house on the grassy area bewteen the tower and parking lot . Be sure to also check out Yaquina Bay Light a few miles south of here if you have the time.
Nice lighthouse and amazing view . Good area for hiking
This place is a must visit, if you want to see sea lions and whales in their natural habitat.
Beautiful views , even for those who have limited mobility. Fascinating and breathtaking.

Great spot for watching seals and cormorants.
Get there early to avoid crowds!
Worth a short wait to climb to the top. Could also just spend hours on the views .
Def. Worth $7, but it could take a while to climb up the lighthouse . We waited over an hour... Lots of other things to check out though. Not to mention it's beautiful...
Great tour of a working lighthouse . Our wait was only 10 minutes.
You can often see gray whales offshore from here! Definitely worth more than $7.
Be prepared if the weather is nice... the kelp flies are out of control.
The flies. Omg. This place is freaking swarming. They won't leave you alone at all. I went back to the car after a few minutes because it was so overwhelming.
Don't stop your almost to the top and the view is so worth it.
Tours of the lighthouse daily at 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, and 10:30.
The fly situation is out of control. (August)

7 bucks!?!?! Yeah right
Free, informative, & nice gift shop. - Paul Lewandowski
Well worth the walk down and back up the stairs. Check the tidal reports and show up near low tide for the best experience! - Chantal Francisco
There’s some cute little critters to see should you come about an hour or so before high tide (definitely do a google to see when high tide is the day you’re going here) - Alyxx
Windy and cold. Perfect ocean watching weather from the cliffs by the lighthouse. - Sally Mallott
Beautiful beach. Lots of ships, bars and restaurants. Can be windy here so bring a hoodie, blanket and beanie. Lots to see and do in NYE Beach. - Darkest Hour Apparel
Cool when it is low tide. Fun to walk around in. - Joel Cline
Very noisy at the top on a windy day. Good tour. - Joel Cline
The Fish and Chips is my favorite but the Reuben is a close second. Incredible selection of beers to go with all the great food. Super kid friendly too. - Joel Thurston
