8. Heceta Head Lighthouse, Oregon
Perched 205 feet above the Pacific, Heceta Head Lighthouse has cast its beam over Oregon’s rugged coastline since 1894. Its breathtaking cliffside setting and powerful light have long aided mariners navigating the often foggy and treacherous waters below. The adjacent keeper’s house, now a charming bed-and-breakfast, invites visitors to experience a piece of lighthouse history up close. Heceta Head remains one of the most beloved and photographed landmarks in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon State Parks: Heceta Head Lighthouse
