How Do You Enjoy Whale Watching Oregons Coast?
Growing up in Oregon and returning to the coast for family vacations I have enjoyed whale watching the Pacific Coast. You can spot whales from the shore quite easily the right time of year. Tour boats are also available and very reasonable in price. The gray whales migrate every year from the cold waters off Alaska to the calving areas in the warm water lagoons of Baja Mexico. There is a gray whale migration north in the spring and a gray whale migration heading south in the fall and winter. Gray whales can be spotted from the coast of Oregon year round. The week after Christmas until the first few days of January every year there are trained volunteers and researchers on about a dozen points and headlands to count gray whales during Whale Watch Week. The Spring Whale Watch Week is the last week of March. About 18,000 whales make the journey. Whales are easier to spot on the in the spring migration when they are heading north. They are feeding more with their calves and better weather
