The Bald Point Site (Smithsonian trinomial: 35CLT23) is an archeological site located in Ecola State Park near Cannon Beach, Oregon, United States. The site features a shell midden and possible house pit, dating to ca. 1550 CE. Associated with the Tillamook people, it has the potential to yield information related to environmental change in the Oregon Coast region, settlement and subsistence patterns, emergence of ethnographic patterns among coastal people, baseline cultural patterns prior to the arrival of European Americans, and other topics. Parts of the site have been lost to coastal erosion since the first scientific investigations in 1976, but the remaining portions appear mostly secure.[2][3]

The Bald Point Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[4]
