Review:

Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint sits at the mouth of Cape Creek. The viewpoint is connected to the Heceta Head Lighthouse by a short walking path that is part of a 7-mile-long trail network in the Heceta Head area. Along these trails, visitors can enjoy stunning ocean views and see scores of cormorants, gulls, and other seabirds that nest on offshore islands. The lighthouse, which sits atop the 1,000-foot-tall Heceta Head, is one of the most photographed spots on the Oregon Coast. The nearby keeper's house is available to rent for overnight stays as well as special events.
