The light at Cape Arago is in an incomparably beautiful setting, located astride a finger of land that reaches out into the Pacific Ocean. Sadly, the Coast Guard turned out the light, permanently on January 1, 2006. The fate of the lighthouse is uncertain but hopefully, it will be taken over by a preservation group or the state of Oregon. When I last visited there a couple of years ago you could not get out to the light. Hopefully that too will change if it comes under the care of a group or the state of Oregon.
