I hope everyone enjoys their spring break this year. If you don't have plans, this is always a fun idea.
People come from all over the world to learn about the Gray whales that travel along the Oregon coast each year. Join Winter Whale Watch Week March 21β29, 2026 at the Oregon Coast. Spring watching begins in late March as the gray whales travel north on their way towards Alaska.
Volunteers and rangers stationed at 15 locations 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. stretched along the Oregon coast to answer your questions and help you spot Gray whales.
