2023 Spring Whale Watch Week

People come from all over the world to learn about the Gray whales that travel along the Oregon coast each year. Spring watching begins in late March as the gray whales travel north on their way towards Alaska.

Oregon State Parks celebrates the migration twice per year during Whale Watch Weeks. The Whale Watching Spoken Here® program places volunteers at 17 whale watching sites, ready to help visitors see and learn about migrating and resident Gray whales.  

A map of volunteer-staffed sites is available online on the official event webpage.
