The Heceta Head Lighthouse and Cape Creek Bridge were the highlight of the day for me. My partner and I are avid photographers, so we have a great stop with the bridge, beach, and lighthouse to photograph. The walk up to the lighthouse is uphill the whole way, so be prepared for that. There is also a little trail behind the lighthouse that takes you up parallel to the top of the light for some really cool pictures. We spent a few hours here, which was a bit longer than I was expecting. There is a lot to see and the views are amazing. Definitely worth a stop.

We saw this from the Sea Lion Caves and decided to visit. We drove in and parked. My wife thoroughly enjoyed walking around on the beach and collecting rocks. I hiked up to the light house and enjoyed the view and the small museum. Now, if I had only known there was a Bed and Breakfast!

We’ve been here before and really liked both the lighthouse and the area. Down below is a parking area just off the beach. The beach is a small rather hidden affair with lots of sand. We walked on a nice wide path and there in front of us is the Lighthouse. It’s not an overly impressive structure (like the Yaquina Point Lighthouse). But it’s in an impressive location, sitting way out on a point where it can be seen in numerous directions. The Lighthouse continues to operate using its original Fresnel Lens. At the bottom we were greeted by a friendly volunteer who told us about the Lighthouse origins. We could go only into the first floor of the Lighthouses. There we met another volunteer telling us about the restoration of the Lighthouse and some of the interior features. Always so neat to have folks talk about places we visit.

The lighthouse is a bit of a walk but worth it when you see the incredible views. Photo opportunities of the coast simply can not be described with words. If you like visiting lighthouses as you travel along the Oregon coast this one is worth stopping for.
