Amenities: Full Kitchen, Beautiful Fireplace, Books for Reading, Back Deck, Phone, Washer & Dryer. Non-Smoking Home.
Activities: Ten minutes north of the cabin, are the Sea Lion Caves, the world's largest sea cave. Slightly further, Heceta Head, the West Coast's most photographed lighthouse, is situated on a rocky bluff. Tide pools with sea anemones and star fish abound, and about 30 minutes from the cabin is Cape Perpetua, the highest point on the Oregon Coast. The best time to enjoy whale watching is between December and May, so don't forget your binoculars! The Oregon Coast Aquarium is approximately one hour north of our Heceta Beach Cabin.
A short drive south of the cabin will find you at the Oregon Dunes Recreation Area. With some of the largest dunes in the world, and miles of beaches, prolific estuaries, mature conifer forests and cool, fish-filled lakes, the coast here provides terrific opportunities for hiking, fishing, birding.
If golf is your love, a short drive inland will land you at the 18 hole Sandpines Golf Links. This award-winning course has received accolades from such high-profile magazines such as Golf Digest and Golfweek.
Area: From the cabin, a fifteen minute walk south along the white sand of Heceta Beach will find you at the jetty of the Siuslaw River. There you will find crabs and other sea life scuttling about the rocks at low tide. If you instead walk north from the cabin, for quite a ways, you will eventually reach a spot where the beach stops, and the mountains rise up out of the ocean.
The town of Florence nearby has several quaint shops and restaurants.
