A morning view along the Tillamook Bay
It's called "Three Capes Scenic Route" for a good reason! This route takes you along a narrow road with cliffs on one side and Tillamook Bay on the other. At low tide, large stretches of muddy bay floor are exposed.

Here's a view looking south. A tall cliff juts out into the Pacific. A mile or two of sandy beach lies to the north.	A morning view looking to the south
