A scenic picture taken of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse with the sun glaring off to the left. Yaquina Head Lighthouse is located along the coast of Oregon State and the Pacific Ocean. This historic lighthouse is 93 (28 m) feet tall and was built in 1872-73. Its light towers are 162 feet (49 m) above the sea, and can be seen about 19 miles (32 km) out to sea. This lighhouse was automated in 1966 in which the light flashes two seconds on, two off, two on, 14 off, then repeats. Each light has its own pattern so it will not be confused with other lights.
