Barview Jetty is located on the north shore of Tillamook Bay, two miles north of Garibaldi on Highway 101. The Jetty is composed of 37,000 tons of stone to resist the fierce force of ocean waves. Noted explorer Robert Gray, who first set foot on the shores of Tillamook Bay in August 1788, would be quite impressed and glad, too, that a jetty was built to protect the shoreline of the Tillamook spit.
