You can’t visit Cape Meares without seeing the lighthouse, one of the Tillamook Coast’s most cherished treasures. Exploring Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint The cape is located at the south end of Tillamook Bay, just north of Tillamook. The area is so beautiful that the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department declared it a State Scenic Viewpoint. In addition to the vertical sea cliffs and incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, it is also home to a historic lighthouse and the Big Spruce, Oregon’s largest Sitka. It is the home to some of the last native Oregon old-growth coastal forest, and this alone should be enough reason for a visit. Cape Meares, like most of the Oregon Coast, is simply stunning. ![]()
