An incredible experience...whale watching off of the Oregon coast

Tweet

I wanted to make Spring Break really memorable for my kids last week, so we planned a trip for the coast last weekend. We stayed at seaside beach which is on the Northern Oregon Coast. We went to a state park close to seaside called Ecola State Park to see if we would have any luck at whale watching. With binoculars in hand, it was not long before we were able to see the water spouts of the gray whales on their northern migration. During our 2 hour long stay were able to catch sight of many whales, especially from the lookout point. The best viewing came from looking through the telescopes,you could see some whales in greater detail, depending on their activity. It is an experience I will never forget and something I thought I would never see. Our timing was apparently perfect, that Sunday was the last day of an annual Spring Whale Watch week along the Oregon coast with many lookout points. According to the website for whale watching week more than 2,600 whale sightings were counted for the week!! Have you ever gone whale watching or ever wanted too? If you ever get a chance..I recommend it ..seeing the migration is really spectacular!!
