Heceta Head Lighthouse 725 Summer Street, Florence, OR 97439

"Be sure to make it to the lighthouse before 3 pm as the doors to the lighthouse itself closes. It's a half mile walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse. Please know it's uneven ground. Trek lightly. Beautiful views. Bathrooms are always a long wait, if you have to go, go before you visit."

"Very cool historic lighthouse on the Oregon coast. A 0.5 mile walk from the parking lot just off 101. $5 to park and access. You can’t go up to the top of the lighthouse, but the walk and the location offer some great views."

"We visit the lighthouse all the time! Fairly easy walk up the trail from beach parking lot to lighthouse with Guesthouse and Souvenir shop midway to rest or explore. View from lighthouse grounds is phenomenal. Tours inside the lighthouse (when available) offer rich, informative history of the building and lifestyle of the keepers. And of course, the beach below offers wonderful low tide pools and caves to explore. Always a great adventure!"

"Fairly long hike up hill but worth it. Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. You can't go up in the tower but you can visit inside the base. Stunning views at ground level. You do have to pay $5 to park by using a kiosk. Gift shop was great and they also have snacks and drinks for purchase as well."

"From the parking lot to the lighthouse, go up along the Trail and there is another trail from the lighthouse to the top of the edinous. It was so good to go for a walk with my dog, and there was a beach right in front of the parking lot, so it was good to play ball. Fee area of $5.00 for parking. A good place to take a break on a winding drive. If you're in a hurry, you can finish the tour in 30 minutes and look around here and there in about an hour. The bridge from the beach was also very good to take pictures. It's a place worth more than $5.00 parking. fee ( annual pass $30.00 two year $50.00 for all of state park of Oregon )"
