Cute little lighthouse. Definitely worth the walk-if able. On the way down there are some beautiful waterfalls off the right side. The lighthouse is the smallest on the coast. The views are fantastic on a nice day.

Since I knew we would be in the Tillamook area, I began researching what else was around the area ahead of our trip and discovered captivating pictures of this Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint location. The sound of an Octopus Tree also especially stood out and caught my interest. When we arrived in the afternoon on a Friday in June 2024, it was in the 60's for temperature. There was plenty of parking in the lot closest to the lighthouse. From there, it's only a 0.2 mile walk to the shortest lighthouse in all of Oregon at only 38 feet in height. The Fresnel lends at Cape Meares is one of only two eight-sided lights in the U.S. with the other in Hawaii.
Whales can be seen from December to January and again from March to April. Other wildlife to keep an eye out for depending on the timing of your visit include peregrine falcons, seabirds, common murres, sea lions, dolphins, porpoise, elk, bear, and deer, amongst others. After admiring the Pacific Ocean and surrounding scenery, we looped back to the parking lot and walked 0.1 miles more from there to the famed Octopus Tree. The tree is a Sitka spruce with no central trunk and estimated to be around 250 years old.

I'm sure this place would have an amazing view on a clear day but unfortunately we were socked in. Nice lighthouse but are not allowed inside.

The lighthouse sits on a point overlooking the ocean. Perfect place for a lighthouse. Not too easy to access for tourists. From the parking lot there’s a long paved trail down to the lighthouse. When built, the area around the lighthouse was open field. Over the years trees and bushes have grown up so that the trail is now fully in the trees. At the end of the trail is the lighthouse poking its head above the path. Nice first view of it. We walked to the lighthouse and enjoyed the views out to the ocean from the observation area around the lighthouse. On the way back, the return trail has a number of openings in the foliage to afford various views of the ocean and shoreline back towards Oceanside. We took every opportunity to stop and look out at sea.

Beautiful views and a cool lighthouse. The area has several viewing spots and the trail is nice. You can see cliffs and coastline.

Pretty views and a great place to come and chill for some whale watching if you have binoculars. I came in March so not too many people and prime whale watching time (sadly I did not have binoculars but others saw some and some seals). It is a short walk down to the lighthouse and the walk back is uphill but still not that far.

The walk down to the lighthouse was fairly easy and enjoyable. But the walk back is all uphill so be ready! This was a short visit as there wasn't a lot to see. No whales visible when we were there.

The lighthouse is short walk from the parking lot. Important to note that the walk back is up with somewhat steep hill. The views from the viewing areas on the way down are very pretty too.

A must see, a little out of the way but you won’t be sorry. There was a volunteer there showing baby birds in the rocks, stunning site. The view was amazing and weather PERFECT!

The Parking lot and grounds and the lower level of the Lighthouse are all Handicap Accessible...however, the upper levels of the lighthouse, because of the nature of how they are constructed involves the use of a narrow spiral staircase which would NOT be accessible....
In fact, now that the subject has come up, I do not believe any of the some 20 or thirty lighthouses we have visited in the US so far have been completely handicap accessible for the same reason stated above....

I'm not sure what times the area opens and closes. In the Winter months I would assume that it would be during daylight hours, probably 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. My wife and I went to Shore Acres State Park last weekend in the afternoon and when we were leaving the park at 3:45 pm, they had closed the entry gates as park closes at 4:00 pm. It would be my guess that Cape Meares would be very similar. i hope this helps.

no charge for this location. it is not always open to enter as it is ran by volunteers. the summer months it is open more frequently as it is tourist season in the area.

How far is the walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse as my husband uses a cane.
Thanks!

GoogleMaps shows very good detail. Approx 300yds on blacktop with benches along the way. There is gradual but constant decline in elevation on way to lighthouse.

Hi everyone, approximately how long will it take you from HWY101 to cape meares lighthouse? What is the condition of the road? Paved ? Narrow ? Thank you.
Rédigé le 21 janvier 2015
You turn off of Hwy 101 at Tillamook - from there it's about 8 miles/20 minutes. The road is paved and in good condition last time I was there. Be sure to take lunch so you can hang out there for awhile. It's beautiful there. Enjoy!
