This state park boast not only the lighthouse but the octopus tree. Cape Meares Light is the shortest on the Oregon coast at only 38 feet, but has a large first order Fresnel lens. Unfortunately the lens has been damaged by vandals and it will take over a half million dollars to fix it.
The octopus tree is a very unusually shaped sitka spruce. It's base is over sixteen feet across with many limbs . It is between 250 and 300 years old. How it came to be shaped this way has not been figured out.
