Heceta Head Lighthouse Tours, June 29

Starting June 26, 2015, Heceta Head Lighthouse tours are being conducted from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Lighthouse maintenance and inspections of the upper levels mean tours will only be conducted on the lawn area adjacent to the lighthouse and in the first level of the lighthouse, but not up in the tower itself. An updated schedule of tower tours will be announced when they resume. Heceta Head State Scenic Viewpoint is 14 miles north of Florence on US 101, and features the lighthouse, short trails, picnicking, a small beach, and a historic lighthouse keepers home managed by the US Forest Service, but operated by a concession as a bed and breakfast . The park serves an estimated 625,000 visitors a year.
