Cape Meares Lighthouse
Cape Meares Lighthouse is located 10 miles west of
Tillamook and U.S. 101. It is located 217 feet above the ocean and is only
38 feet, making it the shortest lighthouse on the Oregon coast.
Cape Meares Lighthouse was first buildt in 1890 and and then
demolished and rebuilt in 1963.
The Oregon Coast Visitors Guide recommends the Cape Meares Lighthouse
because the location got nice viewpoints overlooking offshore islets
inhabited by Steller sea lions and nesting seabirds. These viewpoints
are also great places for Whale watching.
The famous
Octopus Tree is also located here and is worth the 5 minute detour.
Open daily, April-October, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information
or special tours, call 503-842-2244. Visitor services include a small gift shop.
