End the day with breathtaking coastal views at the Cape Meares Lighthouse! Built in 1889 and first lit on January 1, 1890, it's the shortest lighthouse on the Oregon coast at just 38 feet tall — but it packs a punch with its impressive first-order Fresnel lens, visible up to 21 nautical miles at sea. Located within Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint, highlights include:
- Stunning ocean panoramas
- Old-growth forest trails
- The legendary "Octopus Tree" — a uniquely shaped Sitka spruce
- A 0.2-mile paved path from the parking area to the lighthouse
