An historical bridge as seen from the beach by Hecta Head Lighthouse

Hecta Head and neighboring islands give animals the rocky refuge they need to survive. Seabirds and sea mammals need the ocean and these islands for food and protection from predators and human harassment. Seabirds relay on rocky cliffs and islands for safe nesting sites. Seals and sea lions go out on rocks to nest and give birth.

The light is on, but can barely be seen due to the fog.


The fog is so heavy that the rocks down below can barely be seen.

This is not a black and white photo. The fog is so heavy that the colors are lost.
