Florence, OR
Heceta Head Lighthouse rises above one of the most dramatic stretches of the Oregon coast. The white tower stands on a forested headland, 206 feet above the Pacific, while its beam reaches far beyond the rocks below. Visitors come for the coastal trail, the engineering history, and the preserved keeper's house. They also come because a gentle resident ghost, usually called Rue, has become part of the lighthouse's modern folklore.
