Perched dramatically on the Oregon Coast, Heceta Head Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the Pacific Northwest. Built in 1894, it still guides ships with its powerful beacon, the strongest on the Oregon coast, while offering visitors sweeping views of the rugged shoreline and nearby Heceta Head Lighthouse Beach. The historic lighthouse and its charming keepers’ house—now a cozy bed and breakfast—make it a perfect stop for history buffs, photographers, and anyone wanting a classic Oregon coast experience.
