The museum is only $8 per person and includes a tour of the lighthouse. The gentleman who led our tour was very knowledgeable and made for a great experience.

Definitely a cool place to visit. The lighthouse is well maintained, in wonderful condition, and it’s unique 1-red 2-white beam shines 24hrs a day. I highly recommend taking the lighthouse tour, very historically informative and you’re guided to the top! We visited 2 years ago and I failed then to take the tour, and I vowed to return, and we did last Wednesday. Also, great museum and gift shop…food is available at the gift shop too. I wanted to try the chowder, but was too full from earlier breakfast.

A cool lighthouse, especially the history. I'm guessing it's not possible, but it would be awesome to have a more welcoming environment. It feels like this lighthouse was thrown away. It's sad.

The Umpqua River Lighthouse is a great stop for so many reasons! First, the TOUR. The tour is terrific! I think the cost was $8 per person and for that we got both a guided tour and the opportunity to explore their museum at our own pace. The museum had multiple rooms filled with history on both the lighthouse and the Coast Guard. It was an interesting place to explore and it gave us some context for the building we were about to see. The lighthouse itself was beautiful, but the most amazing part was at the top of the stairs, where we could actually stand inside the revolving lens! I’ve been to many lighthouses and I can honestly say I’ve never had that experience. Plus it’s a very rare red Fresnel lens, so bonus points! Our tour guide, Mike, was incredibly knowledgable. He was full of fascinating facts and stories. We probably could have spent another hour talking to him, but he did have other tours to get to. :) Beyond that, you have the view, which is gorgeous. We stopped at one of the benches and ate our lunch overlooking the sand dunes, forest and ocean beyond. They also have a great little gift shop were you can purchase souvenirs or even grab a light meal. It’s an all around wonderful stop that you don’t want to miss!

Really cool thing to see. The Coast Guard maintains the lighthouse and there is a great Coast Guard museum onsite as well. You get a bird's eye view of the jetty and the bar. No boats going either way on this visit! The swells must have been close to 20 feet tall.

Paid about 8 or 10$ / person to get a tour. Very informative and l liked the trivia. You have to go to the gift shop so they can set up the tour for you.

There is some beauty to be found here in a short break from a coastal drive. One thing missing in Oregon's smaller roads are restrooms. This attraction has some right at the parking lot. It's pay-to-park but my National Forest Pass did the trick. The walk up to the keeper's cottage is nicely maintained and a reasonable slope.
