Heceta Head Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse on Oregon Coast, United States.

The Heceta Head Lighthouse stands 206 feet above the Pacific Ocean with a 56-foot tower that projects a light beam visible from 21 miles offshore.

Constructed in 1894, the lighthouse switched from kerosene to electric power in 1940, marking a significant technological advancement in maritime navigation systems.

The assistant lighthouse keeper's house, built in 1893, operates as a bed and breakfast, preserving the maritime heritage through its period architecture.

The park operates daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided lighthouse tours available from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM during summer months.

The lighthouse station hosts Oregon Coast's largest common murre colony, with thousands of pairs nesting on the surrounding cliffs.
