Cape Meares is a small headland on the Pacific coast in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States.

The peninsula is alternatively known as Bayocean, after a popular upscale resort town that occupied the beach in the early 20th century, until beach erosion began to destroy the town beginning in the 1930s.

Today, no significant remnant of the resort town remains on the beach.

The scenic viewpoint is the location of the "Octopus Tree", a large, multi-trunked Sitka Spruce[1] with a trunk circumference of about 50 feet.
