🐋 Spring Whale Watch Week is March 21–29, 2026! 🌊

The gray whales are making their incredible journey north from Baja California — their winter birthing grounds — and passing right by Depoe Bay, Oregon… the Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon Coast!

Depoe Bay is also a popular feeding ground for these gentle gray whales, which means sightings here are often close, active, and unforgettable.

Witness one of nature’s greatest migrations in Depoe Bay. 🐳✨
