Doc John:

As far as I am concerned, Coquille River has no claim to fame. It is probably the least impressive or interesting of all of the Oregon lights. Don't get me wrong, it's worth visiting and the small town of Bandon where it's located is a fun stop to shop and eat. But the light itself is nothing special.

Visiting the coast of Oregon (as well as Washington and Northern California) however is spectacular and there are many great lighthouses along the way.
