Like many, we are attracted to lighthouses. From the headlands, you are offered an amazing view both north and south.

One of the treats this time to the lighthouse is that our visit aligned with low tide at Cobble Beach. Want makes this time especially exciting is the opportunity it presents to explore the tide pools.

There Be Whales
Whale watching at Depoe Bay had been wonderful, but at Yaquina Head Lighthouse it was spectacular. Not only were the whales feeding just off of Cobble Beach, but the stairs and platforms leading to the beach provided excellent vantage points to view them from.

The on the south side of Yaquina Head and just east of Quarry Cove is an outcrop of rocks that was alive with a whales feeding off the bottom. Because of our elevated position near the parking lot, we could actually see the whales under the water.
