Points of Interest:
Bob's Sport-Fishing: 541-888-4241 reservations recommended, Bottom, Halibut and Salmon fishing at its best! Whale watching trips.
Whale Watching: Each year Gray whales migrate from summer feeding grounds in the Bering and Chuckehi Seas to the breeding and calving areas of lagoons of Baja, California, Mexico, and then back again a few months later. The migration is a 10,000-mile round trip and is the longest known for any mammal. We begin seeing south swimming whales in late November or early December, but there are less than one an hour at this time. The best chance of seeing Gray whales during the winter is between the last two weeks of December And the first week of January, when as many as 30 whales an hour go by. Winter migrants are often between a mile to 2 miles offshore. In spring the whales will start their migration back north. The best chance of seeing the Grays and their calves is March through May.
