When thinking of Oregon coast wildlife, whales are not typically an animal that comes to mind and yet they are definitely an animal that visitors should keep an eye out for! Grey whales are the most frequently seen species. Peak whale watching times are between April and May, as well as December and January when the whales are making their migrations between Alaska and Mexico. During these seasons, Oregon State Park volunteers are posted up and down the coast for a week, helping visitors spot the whales.
When staying in one of our Oregon coast homes, be sure to always keep an eye on the horizon because you never know when one of these beautiful animals may be spotted in the distance!
