Things to do/See
I was excited to see the largest naturally formed sea caves. The elevator descends 208 feet to the largest stellar sea lions and california sea lions home. Apart from the sea lions, you get to see pigeon guillemot, Brandt's cormorant, common seagulls, tufted puffins and many more birds. This attraction is at mile 179.1 of the highway 101.

The Heceta head lighthouse was named after a eighteenth century Spanish captain Bruno de Hezeta. This lighthouse was constructed in 1894 and is still functional. It is located at mile 178.2 of highway 101. It is open from 11am to 5pm on weekends and 11am to 3pm on weekdays. You cannot miss this lighthouse in your trip to SeaLions Cave.
You would have to hike 1/2 mile to the light-house from the parking lot. On the way , you can see the lighthouse keeper's house. I have heard that they serve as bread and breakfast. The scenic viewpoint from the lighthouse is a photographers dream come true. The water is bluish green. The plants cover the entire spectrum of green. The rocks cover black to brown. The sky colour ranges anywhere from blue to white. You can see what I mean in this picture below. It was taken with a 3 MP iPhone camera and looks brilliant.
