Description
Located just 10 miles west of Tillamook and the Pacific Coast Byway, the Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint offers visitors a close-up view of the Oregon coast and the Cape Meares Lighthouse. Although the lighthouse is the shortest on the Oregon Coast, it still stands 217 feet above the water. This little beauty, first lit in 1890, is found at the end of a U-shaped path. The paved walkway leads down to the lighthouse and passes scenic viewpoints of the Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge along the way. Here, scattered about the headland, a handful of offshore islets create cozy homes for seabirds and marine mammals.
