    Tips

    The Cape Meares Lighthouse is the shortest lighthouse in Oregon, yet it is far from lacking in beauty. Situated on a stunning promontory, it's a perfect spot for whale watching during the months of December and January. The lighthouse was first lit in 1890 and remained operational until its deactivation in 1963. Entry is free with daily tours by volunteers. There is a gift shop, restrooms, picnic areas, and plenty of surrounding overlook spots with outstanding views of the Pacific that stretch for miles.
