Pelican Bay Lighthouse, Brookings, Oregon

The Pelican Bay Lighthouse is one of two private lighthouses on the Oregon Coast that is recognized as an offical aid to navigation by the Federal Government.  The owner, Mr. Bill Cady originally built the lighthouse as an addition to his house in 1990. The house was moved to its present location above the Port of Brookings (Brookings Harbor) in Brookings, Oregon in 1997. Mr. Cady received permission to light the lantern in 1999 and it was first lit on July 4th, 1999. The lamp is a fixed acrylic Fresnel lens and can be seen from a range of 11 miles. It is lit daily from dusk to dawn. Mr. Cady's father was a former lighthouse keeper in California.  It is the most Southerly light in Oregon. Photos taken in June 2012.

    Neal, I am working on a new post regarding Oregon's Lighthouses. Would you give me permission to use your photo of Pelican Bay Lighthouse? I always provide full attribution, with a link back to this page. Thanks for you consideration! Tom.
