Additional Description: An ideal location for a lighthouse
Named after Captain John Meares who first charted it in 1788, Cape Meares was deemed an ideal site for a lighthouse. Easily seen from the sea, the outer point is below fog line, making the light visible during conditions when it is most needed. The lighthouse served from 1890 until it was replaced by an automated beacon in 1963.
