Oregon Parks & Recreation Dept.: Whale Watching Center


Get ready for summer whales
Whales along the coastline
We are beginning to see a few gray whales looking for food in the Depoe Bay area. These whales are feeding very close to shore.
Daily whale count as seen from shore at the Whale Center.
Whale Watching Spoken Here
People come from all over the United States to learn about the gray whales that migrate past our coast each year. The Whale Watching Spoken Here program places volunteers at great whale watching sites during Watch Weeks so they can teach others while watching the whales too. If you love whales, come and be a volunteer!
