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.
[edit] 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.
