Tillamook Rock Light is a deactivated lighthouse on the Oregon Coast of the United States. It is located approximately 1.2 miles (1.9 km) offshore from Tilla- mook Head, and 20 miles (32 km) south of the Columbia River, situated on less than acre of basalt rock in the Pacific Ocean. The Cape Meares Light is an inactive lighthouse on the coast of Oregon. It is located on Cape Meares just south of Tillamook Bay. It is open to the public. Built in 1890, Cape Meares Light served as the light station for Tillamook Bay. The Yaquina Head Light, also known early in its existence as the Cape Foul- weather Lighthouse, is a lighthouse on the Oregon Coast of the United States.
