Spring Whale Watch and Count
Event Navigation
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will host its spring Whale Watch Week March 19-26, 2016, at 24 designated whale watching sites along the coast. Trained volunteers from the Whale Watching Spoken Here program will be stationed at the sites from 10:00am to 1:00pm on those days to help visitors spot gray whales heading north. In the Seaside area, whale counts will take place at Ecola State Park, Neahkahnie Mtn. Historic Marker, Cape Meares Scenic Viewpoint, and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center at Cape Disappointment State Park (Washington).
Visitors will also learn about whale migration and feeding habits. A full map of the watch sites is available online at whalespoken.org. Camping, including yurts and cabins, is available at state parks along the coast. Go to oregonstateparks.org to check availability and make a reservation.
OPRD reminds visitors to be aware of storms and high waves: respect closures, stay off the sand and watch storms from an elevated location.
