The Heceta Head Lighthouse Viewpoint - The Sea Lion Caves
From the Heceta Head Area, the southward course of Highway 101 runs through the Cape Creek Tunnel and then climbs upwards along the sea-facing cliffs towards Sea Lion Point and the Sea Lion Caves, the largest sea cave in the world. Along the roadway are several turnouts making up the Heceta Lighthouse Viewpoint. The Heceta Lighthouse Viewpoint features stunning vantage points of the vertical cliffs facing the ocean waters churning below plus sensational vistas of the Heceta Head Lighthouse Station. Together with similar viewpoints found at the Sea Lion Caves Facility, the Heceta Lighthouse Viewpoint offers incredible panoramas of the Heceta Head Lighthouse standing guard over the Pacific Ocean. The Sea Lion Caves are a privately run attraction offering an elevator ride down 208 feet to the bottom of the sea cave for exploring this natural wonder. The inside of the sea cave, along with the rocky ledges located outside on the oceanfront shoreline are the home to a large rookery of Steller Sea Lions. The sea lions populate the cave throughout the year including breeding and raising their young. During the fall and winter months, the sea lions can be seen inside the cave where during the warmer months of spring and summer, the sea lions bask in the sunshine outdoors. Also, several species of nesting seabirds breed and nest in the cliffs and rocks around Sea Lion Point. For those fortunate visitors who venture upon the Heceta Head Area, an unforgettable feeling remains of enjoying one of the most magical and awe-inspiring places found anywhere in the world.
