Lighthouse Breakfast Cookbook
On the west side of 1,000-foot-high Heceta Head, 205 feet above the ocean, the 1894 Heceta
Head Lighthouse is one of the icons of Oregon, the most-photographed lighthouse on the West
Coast. Heceta Head entered a new era in 1995, when Mike and Carol Korgan, both certified
executive chefs, came to Heceta Head to revitalize the Keepers House and make it a
welcoming home. The seven course breakfast was created with this ideal in mind.
A blend of inspired food and good conversation is a recipe for true Victorian living.
