Description
Because it is so easy to pull over and see the postcard perfect view of Heceta Head with the lighthouse, assistant keepers house, and nearby offshore rocks, this scene has made Heceta Head the most photographed lighthouse on the Pacific Coast. It appears in numerous calendars and on note cards. This active 56-foot high lighthouse has a rotating beam that is still the most powerful on the Oregon Coast; this first-order lens shines 22 miles out to sea. The lighthouse needed major repairs a few years ago and was in danger of being deactivated, but the communities rallied and the lighthouse was renovated and is in better-than-ever working order. The assistant keepers' house (Heceta House) is now the Heceta Lightstation Bed and Breakfast and serves a seven-course gourmet breakfast each morning you stay. Heceta House has been restored to its original splendor, and by day functions as an interpretive center. A long-time ghostly presence there is occasionally heard or seen. That doesn't keep people away.
