Cape Meares Lighthouse, Historical lighthouse at Cape Meares, Oregon, United States.

Cape Meares Lighthouse is a 12-metre (38 ft) white octagonal tower with a small gallery and a black metal-domed lantern. Its iron-plated lantern required frequent repainting due to exposure to the elements. The tower stands on a grassy headland beside a small white building with a dark gabled roof and two triangular louvered vents. Inside the lantern room, a green and red lens assembly is visible.

Cape Meares Light was built in 1890 as the light station for Tillamook Bay, with two keeper's houses, two oil houses and two cisterns linked to the tower by a 300-metre boardwalk. An attached workroom was added in 1895 and a garage in 1934, the year the light was electrified and the oil houses removed. Deactivated in 1963 and replaced by a newer tower, it was saved from demolition by public outcry and transferred to Tillamook County, then to Oregon State Parks in 1968.

The lighthouse appears as the Arcadia Bay beacon in the 2015 video game Life Is Strange. Its first-order Fresnel lens was made in Paris in 1888; four of its eight sides were covered with red glass, giving an alternating red and white beam.

The lighthouse opens seasonally from May through September with free entry and a gift shop on-site. Bring comfortable shoes for walking the cliff-edge paths, and wear a jacket since the coast stays cool and breezy even on sunny days.

The Fresnel lens was made in Paris in 1888. During the night of January 9–10, 2010, vandals shattered 15 windows and badly damaged it; repairs were estimated at over $500,000. Two Oceanside men were convicted and ordered to pay $100,000 in restitution. Three of the four bulls-eyes stolen in 1968 have since been recovered.
