Oregon State Parks celebrates the annual gray whale migration during Whale Watch Weeks, held twice each year in late December and late March.

During Whale Watch Weeks, trained volunteers are stationed at 14 whale watching sites along the Oregon coast to help visitors spot migrating and resident gray whales and learn more about these incredible marine mammals.

Even outside of Whale Watch Weeks, there are many excellent locations along the Oregon coast to watch for gray whales and other marine mammals.

Happy whale watching!
