Whale Watching in Oregon
People from all over the world come to Oregon to learn about and view these majestic mammals that travel along the coast each year. Whales are visible from the shores all year long, but some months are better for whale sighting than others. In the winter, more than 20,000 gray whales pass by as they head south to the warmer waters of Mexico.
