When you come to visit- you really must stop by Shore Acres State Park. It is an Oregon Coast gem- and the view of the ocean is absolutely majestic. You will be charmed by the landscape and gardens and peaceful surroundings. Shore Acres State Park is also a Whale Watching Spoken Here site for the week of March 20 – 27, 2010.
I came across this video posted by a You Tube member(thank you for posting this!) who captured some of the more intense waves breaking onto the rocky overlook from Shore Acres State Park earlier this year. Put this spot on your “must see” list and enjoy this peaceful moment that was captured in this video:
Twice each year- thousands of visitors come to Oregon Coast with the hopes of catching a rare glimpse of the Gray whales migrating off our coast. Anyone who has been lucky enough to spot one can tell you what a marvelous site it is. These mysterious creatures migrate past the Oregon coast twice a year: just around the winter holiday season (southbound migration) and towards the end of March (northbound migration) though they can still be spotted until late May.
The Whale Watching Spoken Here® program staffs trained volunteers at 26 great whale-watching on the Oregon coast during the peak migration weeks to help visitors spot the migrating whales and learn more about them. The program’s main objectives are to help visitors see and learn about the whales and other marine life along our coast.
Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston visitors and residents can experience this amazing event at each day at Shore Acres Park during Spring Watch Week, March 20 – 27 from 10 a.m.- 1 p.m.
The Whale Watching Spoken Here program also accepts new volunteers each year to be placed at great whale watching sites during Watch Weeks so they can teach others while watching the whales too. If you love whales, consider volunteering for this outstanding organization!
