Lighthouse Beach (Oregon) Informations

Lighthouse Beach is a beach in Coos County, Oregon, United States. It is located between Yoakam Point State Natural Site to the south and Cape Arago Lighthouse to the north, in the unincorporated community of Charleston. The beach is popular with surfers, kayakers, and birdwatchers and offers slight protection from cross currents and wind due to the rocky headlands framing the beach. The beach does not have a parking lot and most visitors access the beach by parking along the Cape Arago Highway, near the intersection of Lighthouse Way, and walking down a footpath to the beach. Kayakers often access Lighthouse Beach by putting-in at Sunset Bay State Park or Bastendorff Beach County Park, and then paddling over to Lighthouse Beach. Lighthouse Beach is technically private property, but an easement grants access to pedestrians under the Oregon Beach Bill of 1967.
