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.

Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint is famous for its beautiful lighthouse, breathtaking ocean views, and a Sitka spruce tree that resembles an octopus. From the viewpoints in the park, there are opportunities to catch a glimpse of migrating gray whales, sea lions, dolphins, and porpoises. The steep bluffs and offshore rocks are home to thousands of seabirds, and in the spring, you may be lucky enough to see peregrine falcons nesting on the cliffs.

Just a short run from the parking area, this lighthouse boasts gorgeous views of the coast!
