Twin Rocks is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States, on the Oregon Coast. Twin Rocks, founded as a summer resort community, was named for two offshore rocks, 100feet high, in the Pacific Ocean.[2] Twin Rocks post office was established in 1914, with William E. Dunsmoor as the first postmaster.[2] The post office closed in 1954.[2]
Twin Rocks is near two other unincorporated communities in Tillamook County, Barview and Watseco. The three communities are all along a 30NaN0 stretch of U.S. Route 101 between the cities of Rockaway Beach and Garibaldi.[3]
Twin Rocks Friends Camp in the community was founded in 1918.[4]
Twin Rocks gave its name to folk singer Shawn Mullins' song Twin Rocks, Oregon, which appears on his 1998 album Soul's Core.
