The interactive visitors center was informative and would be great for kids. Afterward we hiked to the lighthouse and saw seals, marine life, and a bald eagle!

Beautiful scenery but we didn't get out and visit areas.

We got there too late to go to the visitors center or go in the lighthouse but the tide pools were really great to see. The former rock quarry that the Department of Interior turned into a tide pool was especially nice to see, what a good use of our resources!

This is a great lighthouse! Oregon's tallest. The docents, dressed in period costume, are extremely knowledgeable and willing to share their knowledge with the interested. We went to the top and were glad we got to see the lens up close!
The visitor's center has lots of information that is worth a stop!

Very nice natural area. Visitor's Center was excellent; very instructive on lighthouse and natural features. Tidal pools in quarry area were a little disappointing, but maybe this was not the best time for them.

As an Oregon resident, I've opted to pay for annual passes so I can enjoy the parks and do my bit to help support them. It's a great value if you plan to enjoy them as often as you like.
The views of the lighthouse were wonderful. Then there were volunteers at the lookout above the cliffs with telescopes set...

As an OR resident, I have been to my fair share of parks and I don't think we've ever paid $7 for a day park. All I wanted was a picture, that's it and I couldn't bring myself to pay that when I knew I'd be there 15-30 min tops. As an amateur photographer, I probably would, but I'd be...
