Most people mistakenly call sea stars star fish. They aren’t fish. Sea stars are one of the many wonders that can be seen at Strawberry Hill. During low tide, Pacific seals use the rocks as a haul out and at other times they can be seen feeding with their cute heads bobbing about. Take your binoculars and dress warm with rain gear.

Beautiful and remote lighthouse.
Reviewed By ColleenC974
My husband and I were in Oregon in early September, and after a long day of traveling down the coast, this was our last stop for the day. We arrived not too long before sunset. Although we missed all of the tours, etc, we were treated to the most beautiful sunset, followed by watching the lighthouse lamp light up and start its sentry for the night. The lighthouse is so beautifully maintained, and the whole park (the lighthouse, the keeper's house - now a bed and breakfast, the path, the beach, even the big bridge close by) were amazing. This was hands down one of my favorite stops during our time in Oregon. I am a huge history buff, so I was sad to miss the personal history lessons that come with docents and staff members, but the sunset and to see the lighthouse light up so close and personal was absolutely worth it!

Beautiful bridge with Gothic arches under the roadbed and an overall Art Deco design. We picked up a take away lunch and ate with the river and bridge in view. One of several Oregon bridges of similar design that still grace the Oregon coast highway.
