Heceta Beach is a small community located in Lane County, Oregon, in the United States. It sits right on the Pacific Ocean, west of U.S. Route 101. This area is called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a place where people live together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.
Heceta Beach is just north of the Siuslaw River and the city of Florence. It's also part of Florence's "urban growth boundary." This is an imaginary line that helps control how a city grows. It makes sure that development happens in an organized way. The community of Heceta Beach was first mapped out in 1915.
Lane County takes care of a small park in Heceta Beach. This park gives people easy access to the beach. It also has restrooms and picnic tables for visitors to use. A hotel and conference center called Driftwood Shores, which was in Heceta Beach, became part of Florence in 2008.
