Heceta Head Lighthouse

Supposedly, this is the most photographed lighthouse in the country, so we figured it was definitely worth a stop and a photo op. It is a working lighthouse, and it, along with the Inn Keeper's home are circa 1894 and listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Again, it was pretty cold and rainy, so it was a fairly quick stop for us, but in better conditions, a great place to stretch your legs and stroll down the beach. (This photo was actually taken further up the road from a lookout.) You can also stay on the property in the lightkeepers cottages (complete with a 7-course breakfast!), so if you are needing a good stopping point for the day, this seems like a wonderful B&B to wake up to crashing waves and delicious breakfast.
