Nestled high on rocky cliffs that overlook the Three Arch Rocks is the Lighthouse of Cape Meares. This is the southern tip of what mariners call “ The Graveyard of the Pacific“. The long stretch of treacherous coastline extends northward to the frigid waters of Cape Scott on Vancouver Island. These rugged and rocky shorelines were first explored in the 15th century, since then countless numbers of lives and ships have been lost from storms and inclement weather. The cape is named after Lt. John Meares of the Royal Navy. In 1963, the lighthouse was deactivated by the Coast Guard.

on Jan 14This is a beautiful view of this lighthouse. The first time I was there it was so foggy you couldn't see the light or the Three Arches. The next time it was a beautiful clear day, but I never got there at sunset. This is wonderful, and wish I'd been able to stay til late in the day.
