Whales will be the topic of conversation up and down the Oregon coast during Winter Whale Watch Week. Scheduled from December 27th to 31st, Winter Whale Watch Week is the perfect time to go to any of the official Whale Watching points on the Oregon Coast, look for whales and ask questions of the volunteers. The volunteers will be present from 10 am to 1 pm each day of Winter Whale Watch Week.
Here’s the official map of all the whale watching areas participating in Winter Whale Watch Week:
