Cape Blanco, Oregon
Cape Blanco (Template:Coor dm) is a prominent headland on the Pacific Ocean coast of southwestern Oregon in the United States, forming the westernmost point in the state.
It is located in northern Curry County, approximately 5 mi (8 km) north of Port Orford, along a mountainous and isolated stretch of the coast bounded to the east by the Coastal Range. The cape is part of Cape Blanco State Park. The cape is the location of the Cape Blanco Lighthouse, first lit in 1870.
