Cape Meares is home to a variety of wildlife.
Elk, bear, deer and many species of birds
are found in this unique coastal setting. Parts of Cape Meares and nearby Three Arch Rocks are National Wildlife Refuges. From April through
July, the steep cliffs and offshore rocks are nesting sites for thousands of seabirds, including common murres, pelagic and Brandt’s cormorants and pigeon guillemots. Peregrine falcons occasionally nest on the
cliffs in the spring.
Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint is a prime location for whale watching. Migrating whales may be seen from December to January as they head south to calving grounds in Mexico and again March to April as they head north to Alaska. Volunteers help visitors spot whales during designated whale watching weeks in December and March. A population of about 200–400 whales feeds along the Oregon coast throughout the summer. Other marine mammals such as sea lions, dolphins
and porpoise may be seen from Cape Meares’ excellent viewpoints.
