Heceta Head Lighthouse - Photography by Charles Draper

Heceta Head Lighthouse has guided mariners since 1894. It stands on a 520 ft. high promontory named for the Spanish explorer Bruno Heceta who came this way in 1775. The Heceta keepers house, a few hundred yards east of the lighthouse, was built in 1893. Fisherman still depend on the lighthouse for safe navigation of the coast. The keepers house is now a bed and breakfast.
