Cape Meares

Ten miles west of Tillamook, Oregon is the Cape Meares Lighthouse, named for John Meares who was the first to sail into Tillamook Bay. The lighthouse was built in 1889 and commissioned on January 1, 1890. The tower stands 38 feet high and is the shortest lighthouse in Oregon.  More of its history can be found here: Cape Meares Lighthouse History
