DID YOU KNOW? You can see whales from your BLM public lands!

Coastal spots in Oregon & Washington offer visitors the unique opportunity to whale watch -- in a way that’s as thrilling as it is safe for whale populations!

The best time of year will depend on the whale species, but if you’re patient, whales can be seen on public lands year-round.

We recommend you layer up and bring a chair, some snacks, and a reliable pair of binoculars. It’s best to avoid windy days, since the white caps on waves may be difficult to distinguish from signs of a whale -- like a spout, fin, or tail fluke!
