Event details

March on the Oregon Coast is prime gray-whale season, and Spring Whale Watch Week turns Depoe Bay into a front-row seat. Volunteer interpreters staff viewpoints and answer kid-friendly questions while you scan for spouts, flukes, and playful sea lions below the cliffs.

Pair your whale hunt with a tidepool walk or a short coastal hike nearby, then warm up with chowder in town. It’s an easy, memorable way to build a spring break day around the ocean.
