While you're up visiting Cape Meares Lighthouse, go up the opposing trail and it will take you to Oceanside's own Octopus tree! It's beautiful and a great short little hike!
One of a kind! This tree is well known in Oregon for its tentacle like appearance and beyond that a great little hike and a view of the coast!

It is 105 feet tall and is estimated to be 250 to 300 years old.
