Port Orford

The Pacific Ocean defines the setting of Port Orford — an exposed stretch of Oregon’s southern coast where sea stacks, coves and forested bluffs shape a small fishing community. The town’s celebrated dolly dock is a practical local landmark: commercial boats are lifted from the water by crane rather than moored in a sheltered marina. Battle Rock recalls the 1851 landing of Captain William Tichenor’s party and the conflict that followed. North of town, Cape Blanco is Oregon’s westernmost point, and its lighthouse has served the coast since 1870.
