| In the spring each year a large number of gray whales travel up the Oregon coast to Alaska to their feeding grounds. In the fall they travel south. They travel so close to the beach you can go out any day of the week and see them. The state has volunteers all along the coast helping people view the whales. They think that about 17,000 whales travel each year. Last year 1,471 whales were spotted in daylight going north from the beach over 3 weeks. Below is a listing of sites. The sites that have inside facilities will be printed with capital letters. |
