The Cape Meares Lighthouse
Breathtaking Cape Meares is home to one of the very last stands of native Oregon old growth coastal forest. Comprised of stunning vertical sea cliffs and rolling headlands of native Sitka spruce and hemlock, it is home to the Big Spruce (Oregon’s largest Sitka). Birds of all kinds flock to the vanishing habitat encapsulated within Cape Meares’ lush, yet rugged, environment.
Cape Meares forms a high, steep bluff on the south end of Tillamook Bay—just a few miles north of the city of Tillamook. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has declared the cape to be a State Scenic Viewpoint.
