SEA LIONS ARE SUCH FUN MAMMALS TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO, WHAT A CARD FOR A CHILD OR PICTURE FOR THEIR ROOM. Cape Arago may be the end of the road (the road out of Coos Bay goes no further), but it’s really only the beginning if you want to explore the southern Oregon coast. Located at the end of Cape Arago Highway about 15 miles southwest of Coos Bay, Cape Arago is a scenic headland jutting into the Pacific Ocean. Long used by native Americans, Cape Arago was first sighted by Europeans during one of Sir Francis Drake’s expeditions in the late 1500s. Modern visitors can scan the horizon for migrating whales and other marine mammals, as well as fishing boats and ships entering and leaving nearby Coos Bay. The south cove trail leads down to a sandy beach and superior tidepools where you can visit intertidal plants and animals (but please enjoy them with your eyes only). The north cove trail provides access for fishing, beachcombing, and viewing the off-shore colonies of seals and sea lions at Shell Island - a designated National Wildlife Refuge. The trail is closed March 1 June 30 to protect seal pups. Picnic tables, restrooms and a gazebo shelter are available for daytime use.

Located on Chief’s Island just off a section of the Oregon coast roughly 10 miles southwest of Coos Bay. (Latitude: 43.34123 / Longitude: -124.37543) The first Cape Arago Lighthouse was illuminated on Novermber 1, 1866. An octagonal, wrought iron tower was capped with a lantern room housing a fourth-order Fresnel lens and was supported by spindly metal legs. Located at the northern end of the island, the tower was linked via a wooden walkway to a one-and-a-half-story wooden keeper’s dwelling, constructed near the southern end of the island. Rowboats were initially used to access the island, until a low bridge to the island was constructed in 1876. However, high seas cut short the bridge’s life after just two years, and the boats were a necessity once again. A cable tramway was built instead in 1891. Two frame towers, one on the island and one on the mainland, supported a 400-foot long cable, and the ends of the cable were anchored in concrete. This new means of accessing the island also proved to be perilous. Just over a month before a high bridge was finally completed in July of 1898, keeper Thomas Wyman, his daughter, and two other individuals were being winched across the inlet in the cage suspended below the tramway’s cable, when disaster struck. The cable snapped, plunging the passengers onto the rocky surf some sixty feet below. Wyman’s legs were severely injured, and one of them was subsequently amputated. In 1896, the Cape Arago Station received several improvements. The existing light tower was encased in bricks and covered with stucco. A brick fog building housing a Daboll trumpet was constructed adjacent to the tower, and a new duplex was built for the keepers. / In 1934, the wooden lighthouse was moved a short distance to serve as the keeper’s office, and Cape Arago’s third lighthouse was constructed where the second lighthouse had stood. Perhaps seeking a more durable structure, the new lighthouse was constructed of concrete, using the plans from Washington’s Point Robinson Lighthouse. The only surviving structures on the island today are the third lighthouse and the high bridge constructed in 1889 to provide access to the island. The original lighthouse was blown up with dynamite, some time after the third lighthouse was completed. The keeper’s duplex was razed in 1957, and the second lighthouse met the same fate in the 1960s. A nondescript, cinder block, single-story fourplex, which had been built on the mainland opposite the lighthouse, was home to Coast Guard personnel who cared for the lighthouse until it was automated in 1966. The Coast Guard removed the Fresnel lens from the tower in 1993, and placed it on display at Coast Guard Air Station. National Register Status: LISTED; Reference #73002338
