Cape Mears and Seaside

Next is Cape Mears Lighthouse, perched high above the coast, and the shortest lighthouse on the Oregon coast because of its altitude. We climb the 26 steps and look out over the rugged coastline. It is so windy we have to put on our jackets.

We drive through Cannon Beach to Seaside in hopes of spotting Tillamook Head lighthouse, situated on a rock outcropping offshore. No luck, it is too foggy. We have a tasty dinner at Girtles and then return home via Portland and Tigaard.
