Tillamook Rock Lighthouse at Sunset – Oregon Pacific Coast
Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, also known as “Terrible Tilly,” is an iconic and rugged structure located off the coast of Tillamook, Oregon. Built in 1881, it sits atop a rocky islet about a mile offshore and was designed to help guide ships through the treacherous waters of the Columbia River Bar.
The lighthouse is notable for its dramatic and isolated position. Its construction was incredibly challenging due to the harsh weather conditions and the rock’s rugged nature. Over the years, it gained a reputation for being difficult to maintain, leading to its nickname “Terrible Tilly.”
The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1957 and is no longer in operation. Today, it stands as a historical landmark and a symbol of maritime history. While it’s not accessible to the public, you can get a great view of it from the shore or from various scenic spots along the coast.
