Twin Rocks
Perhaps the only footbridge across the Oregon Coast Highway is in Twin Rocks
Twin Rocks is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States, on the Oregon Coast. Oregon Geographic Names states that Twin Rocks was named for two 100-foot-high rocks offshore in the Pacific Ocean. A post office was established to serve the summer resort community in Twin Rocks in 1914, with William E. Dunsmoor as the first postmaster. The post office closed in 1954.
Geography
Twin Rocks is located near two other unincorporated communities in Tillamook County, Barview and Watseco. The three communities are all along a 3-mile stretch of U.S. Route 101 between the cities of Rockaway Beach and Garibaldi.
