Oregon State Parks celebrates the migration twice per year during Whale Watch Weeks in late December and late March. The Whale Watch Program places volunteers at 14 whale watching sites, ready to help visitors see and learn about migrating and resident Gray whales. 

Even if it isn't Whale Watch Week, there’s great locations on our Oregon coast to be on the lookout for Gray whales and other marine mammals!
Happy whale watching!
