Grab your binoculars and scan the horizon from Gold Beach as gray whales travel the Oregon coast. Naturalists and prime lookout spots help you catch the telltale spout and fluke of these gentle giants on their epic migration.
It's an awe-inspiring, family-friendly way to experience the wild beauty of the southern coast. Gold Beach is one of Oregon's most scenic and uncrowded destinations — pair your whale watching with a Rogue River jet boat trip or a walk on the wide beaches for an unforgettable coastal day.
