Nestled along the rugged cliffs of the Oregon coast, the Heceta Lighthouse stands as a beacon of beauty and history. This iconic structure is not just a lighthouse but also a charming bed and breakfast, offering visitors a unique opportunity to stay in one of the most picturesque settings on the Pacific Coast. The lighthouse, named after the Spanish explorer Bruno de Heceta, has been guiding sailors since 1894 with its powerful beam visible up to 21 miles out to sea, making it one of the brightest lights on the Oregon coastline.

Staying at the Heceta Lighthouse B&B is truly a magical experience. Each room is thoughtfully decorated, providing a cozy, inviting atmosphere that complements the stunning ocean views available from nearly every window. The true highlight of the stay, beyond the spectacular views, is the renowned seven-course breakfast, renowned for its culinary excellence and a favorite among guests. This gourmet experience features a variety of dishes that are as delightful as the panoramic vistas from the dining room.

The lighthouse also serves as an excellent base for exploring the natural beauty of the Oregon coast. Nearby trails offer adventurous hikes and the chance to spot local wildlife, including seabirds and, if you’re lucky, passing whales. Whether you’re savoring a cup of coffee at sunrise, enjoying a gourmet breakfast, or sipping a glass of wine at sunset, the views and experiences at Heceta Lighthouse are unparalleled. A stay here is more than just a visit; it’s an immersion in the awe-inspiring forces of nature and a chance to unwind in one of Oregon’s most historic and scenic locations.
