Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint is located 10 miles west of Tillamook, Oregon on the north end of the beautiful Three Capes Scenic Loop.  The park is open daily,  throughout the year, from 7 am to dusk with no day use admission charged.  Features within the park include the Cape Meares Lighthouse, an informational kiosk, interesting viewpoints where the visitor can view the  off-shore rocks for native birds and the annual whale migration, the Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge, nature trails, and the famous Octopus Tree.  A picnic area, which can accommodate small groups, is  located adjacent to the parking lot as well as wheelchair accessible restrooms. 

Cape Meares Lighthouse is open daily April through  October from 11 am to 4 pm.  A wide, asphalt trail, which is wheelchair accessible, provides easy access to the lighthouse. 

Benches are conveniently located along the path to enjoy the scenery and an  alternative return path to the south, where you may enjoy the scenery (or catch your breath). 

Admittance to Cape Meares Lighthouse is free.  An Interpretive Gift Shop is located in the previous work room  of the lighthouse and features items related to lighthouses, the sea, wildlife, wild flowers and souvenirs to remember your visit to Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint.  Donations and proceeds from the  Interpretive Shop (located inside the lighthouse) are used to enhance the park.  

Is there a ghost???  Find out when you visit.
