Who are the Friends of Cape Meares Lighthouse & Wildlife Refuge, Inc.?  A group of dedicated people who care about the natural beauty and the historic Cape Meares Lighthouse.

Formed in 1991 in conjunction with Oregon State Parks & Recreation Department, our members conduct  tours, greet over 50,000 visitors each year and maintain the lighthouse for our visitors' enjoyment.

Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint has become a popular destination for bird watching.  From the existing viewpoints, Peregrine Falcons, Common Murre, Bald Eagles, Cormorant, Pigeon Guillemot, Pelicans and Oyster Catchers can be viewed. 

Local members enjoy a group meeting every other month (beginning in February) with wonderful food, good fun, and sharing of ideas.  Highlight of the October meeting is choosing the Photo Contest Winners.  The nine member board meets every other month and conducts business meetings for the Friends group.
