Ediz Hook Light stands on a narrow sand spit extending into the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Port Angeles, Washington. Built in 1865, it was one of the earliest lighthouses on the strait, guiding vessels through treacherous waters during the region’s timber trade boom. The light was deactivated and the site now sits within a U.S. Coast Guard facility, so it is not open to the public and visitors cannot climb the tower. The best photography is from the public areas along Ediz Hook Road during golden hour, with the Olympic Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. Nearby, visitors can explore Olympic National Park, the Port Angeles waterfront trail, and ferries to Victoria, British Columbia.
