The Heceta Head Lighthouse shines its beacon out to sea from a headland located 13 miles south of Yachats. The lighthouse, built in 1894 for a total cost of $80,000, is 56 feet tall, and its beam is visible for 21 nautical miles, making it the strongest light on the Oregon coast. Heceta Head is named after the Spanish explorer Bruno de Heceta, who explored the Pacific Northwest during the late 18th century. Visitors can still get a close-up look at this historic structure and even spend the night in the adjacent Light Keeper’s home, which is now operated as the Heceta Lighthouse B&B.

LINCOLN COUNTY — The county has set aside funding to assist each of the communities within its boundaries with homeless issues. That was the message shared by Lincoln County Counsel Wayne Belmont during a recent joint work session of the Newport City Council and the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners. “We’re trying to do some things that really move the needle on this particular issue,” Belmont said. “Lincoln City is a great example. There we’re actually talking about building some units that actually would provide some housing. It’s part of a strategy to contribute some resources on a going-forward basis."
