Lighthouses

The Cape Disappointment Lighthouse as seen from The Lewis & Clark Interpretative Center. The Interpretative Center is a wonderful exhibit we thoroughly enjoyed.

The Cape Meares Lighthouse was vandalized in 2010 by two young men with rifles. The 120 year old lens from France was destroyed, but the vandals were caught and are making restitution.

This is what a lighthouse lens looks like.

  2. I LOVED this area. We stayed here for a week in this past Spring. The black sandy beach; we fell in love with it and will be back again for sure! Lovely shots!
