Winter brings the gray whale migration south along the Oregon coast, and Whale Watch Week helps you see it. Volunteers post up at lookouts coastwide to help you spot spouts and flukes as thousands of whales pass by on their journey.

Bundle up, bring binoculars, and witness one of the coast's most thrilling natural spectacles. Trained volunteers are stationed at scenic viewpoints all along the coast during the week, making it easy to join in wherever you're staying. It's a free, unforgettable way to experience the winter coast.
