Tillamook Head is a high promontory on the Pacific coast of northwest Oregon in the United States.
It is located in west-central Clatsop County, approximately 5 mi (8 km) southwest of Seaside.
The promontory forms a steep rocky bluff on the ocean, approximately 1,200 ft (366 m) high, forested with Sitka spruce.
In 1806, Captain William Clark and 12 members of the Corps of Discovery documented their journey south from Fort Clatsop, hiking over the promontory where they encountered a beached whale.
It spread along the Oregon Coast to Tillamook Head,[2] cooling to a 600-foot thick basalt sill.
