If you’ve never spent the night at a lighthouse I can highly recommend it.
Last night we had the pleasure of staying at Heceta Head Lighthouse (pronounced he-see-taa) 
, a beautiful working lighthouse on the pacific coast in Oregon which has been restored and the lighthouse keepers lodge turned into a Bed and Breakfast.
We arrived at around 6pm and had the chance to explore the beach and take some photos before sunset. After dark we were invited to take a walk up to the lighthouse and guests are provided with a torch for that reason. It was fairly misty and a bit windy last night but walking around Heceta Head at night is amazing. The scenery is straight out of a Stephen King Book or Twin Peaks, kind of spooky but the way the lighthouse lights up the bay is an incredible sight.
As if the scenery wasn’t enough, the B&B is run by chefs who treated us to a 7 course breakfast this morning. There were about 12 guests and before breakfast each one is asked to tell the table where they are from and what they do. It sounds awkward but it really got everyone talking. The manager then rang a bell before each of the 7 courses and gave us an explanation of what we were about to eat.
We were treated to Home grown berries, lemon poppyseed bread, shrimp mousse with english crumpets, a mango and mint lassee, followed by an egg, gruyere, cheddar and broccoli souffle, sausages glazed in maple syrup and finished off with an apple, cinnamon and coffee strusel cake served with fresh cherries, apricots and local cheese.
It was just a shame we only had one night there. They serve a different seven courses each day from their cookbook (which Jen bought) and we’d have liked a bit more time to explore the area but we were looking forward to driving down the coast.
