In the winter, mid-December through mid-January are key whale-watching times along Oregon’s coast. Spring watchings tend to start in mid to late March and can last through early June. In addition, there are even resident whales that can often be spotted throughout the summer and fall. Depoe Bay is a hot spot for whale watching along Oregon’s coast.
