Heceta Head Lighthouse

Heceta Head is one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world. It is the brightest light on the Oregon coast and it is said to be the most photographed lighthouse in the United States.

The Queen Anne style Keeper’s House has been restored to its original splendor. It now serves as an Interpretive Center by day, complete with lighthouse tours, and an exquisite Bed and Breakfast by night. The walk to the lighthouse is
easy and beautiful as you wander up through lush forest along the coast to the historical landmark of Haceta Head Lighthouse.
