Heceta Head Lighthouse is in a picturesque area. All of the coast is beautiful but there is just something to like about Heceta Head. It sits out on a point above the water. The trees come right up to the lighthouse. There are interesting things nearby such as the Seal Caves, the beach, forest trails, a bed and breakfast, and some state parks. Heceta Head resides north of Florence, Oregon.
Below you will see photos of Heceta Head Lighthouse from Highway 101, The Heceta Head Trail, the trail from the beach and parking lot to the lighthouse, and at the lighthouse itself. There are two trails to the lighthouse. The most commonly used one starts at the parking lot at Heceta Head - Devil's Elbow State Park and beach. THe other starts from Highway 101 north of the lighthouse. The second one is the harder one to find but the parking is free. It also requires more hiking but in my opinion it is worth it. The scenery is excellent and refreshing. This is the route we took but we ended going down the other trail to visit the beach. We did not get to visit the Sea Lion Caves but I highly suggest going.
