Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint
A ½-mile trail from the beachside parking lot leads to the oft-photographed Heceta Head Lighthouse built in 1894, whose beacon, visible for more than 21 miles, is the most powerful on the Oregon Coast. More than 7 miles of trails traverse the rocky landscape north and south of the lighthouse, which rises some 200 feet above the ocean. For an incredible photo op of the lighthouse and Heceta Head, pull into the scenic viewpoint just north of Sea Lion Caves.
