South Aerial Guide Overview - Tour Three
Cape Creek Bridge and Tunnel - Heceta Lighthouse Viewpoint

From the park grounds of the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint, the visitor can explore the architectural detail of the Cape Creek Bridge built in 1932 with its amazing 619-foot main bridge span. The Cape Creek Bridge is another historic coastal bridge designed by Conde B. McCullough, Oregon’s Master Bridge Builder during the creation of the Oregon Coast Highway System. The bridge design incorporates numerous arches and columns reminiscent of Roman Architecture as well as a 220-foot open spandrel rib-type reinforced concrete deck arch on its main span. The rippling waters of Cape Creek flow underneath the arch of the bridge heading westward out to the Devil’s Elbow Beach Area. Heading southward from the park, the route of Highway 101 traverses through the Cape Creek Tunnel built in 1932 as well and then heads up along the sea-facing cliffs towards Sea Lion Point and the very popular Sea Lion Caves. Along the roadway are several roadside turnouts making up the Heceta Lighthouse Viewpoint. The viewpoint features intense angles of the sheer cliff faces heading straight down towards the ocean waters churning below in Cape Cove as well as offering breath-taking vistas of the Headland of Heceta Head, the Headland Heceta Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast and the Heceta Head Lighthouse Station. Together with similar view lines found at the Sea Lion Caves Facility, the Heceta Lighthouse Viewpoint affords the traveler with an opportunity to capture an unforgettable panorama of the Heceta Head Lighthouse standing guard over the Pacific Ocean. It is no wonder that this panorama is the basis for one of the most photographed subjects taken worldwide, the one of a kind setting of the Heceta Head Lighthouse.
