Heceta Head Light is a lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. It is located at the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint, a state park, halfway up a 205-foot (62 m) land drive. Built in 1894, the 55-foot (17 m) lighthouse shines a beam visible for 21 nautical miles (39 kilometers; 24 mi), making it the most powerful light on the Oregon Coast.

The views are amazing if you take the trail to go a little higher and pass the actual light house.
