Heceta Head Light is an Oregon Coast lighthouse located directly between the cities of Florence and Yachats in Oregon. It is located in a state park, midway up a 205-foot-tall headland.

Heceta Head Light was first lit in 1894, automated in 1963, and stands 56 feet from its base.

In 1892, construction began on the light, but the seclusion of the site required some ingenuity to bring in the materials, often by wagon from Florence taking a five hours journey. The cost of building the light was $80,000 and was complete in August of 1893.

The lens is a first order Fresnel lens, has a range of 21 nautical miles, and is the strongest light on the Oregon coast.

The light character: flash White, 10 seconds
