Heceta Head Lighthouse - Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint
Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean, the Heceta Head Promontory immediately captures the visitor’s attention while traveling along the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway with its rugged beauty and alluring vistas. On the western point of Heceta Head stands one of the Oregon Coast’s most prominent lighthouses, the Heceta Head Lighthouse. With the Heceta Head Promontory as its spectacular backdrop, the Heceta Head Lighthouse is believed to be the most photographed lighthouse in the United States and one of the most photographed lighthouses worldwide. It's shear scintillating beauty is a work of natural art, not to mention that the Heceta Head Lighthouse is the most powerful lighthouse on the Oregon Coast with its light beam visible 21 miles from shore. First lit in 1894, most wonder how the lighthouse was built on such a rugged setting and in such a remote place. The Heceta Head Lighthouse does possess a rich history and still today serves as a navigational aid to mariners at sea. The Heceta Head Area is located in Northern Lane County and is sited 14 miles north of Florence, Oregon. As with most of Oregon’s ocean-facing promontories, the headland of Heceta Head dates back to an ancient lava flow. Over time, the forces of nature and the onrush of crashing waves have shaped the headland and its coastline into a magnificent setting with several offshore rocks teeming with wildlife. The Heceta Head Lighthouse is one of the main attractions found at the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint, a superb park facility administered by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department.
