Yes, that is Heceta Head. It's right in my old stomping grounds. Up Cape Creek (crossing under the bridge coming out of the tunnel) up into the hills and North into the Big Creek drainage, is an area where one could chuck it all and live off the land. If you look hard enough you will find some who do, and they don't like to be bothered by flatlanders.

We stay at Yachats fairly often, usually at the Adobe. We like to eat at the Landmark - plain food but what a view (at least until the place falls into the bay).

Yachats is a popular destination for gays (in case you didn't know already), but they don't seem to be in your face like when you see them at a pride week. It is the place actor David Ogden Stiers has lived for years. Whether there's any connection between his residence and the culture that has developed there, I have no idea.
