Your visit to the "WHALE WATCHING CAPITAL OF THE OREGON COAST" is sure to be a memorable one. We are fortunate to have a resident pod of grey whales which makes its home here 10 months out of the year. Visitors from everywhere come to whale watch either from many shore observation spots or to take one of our charters out for a closer look. There is nothing quite so spectacular as seeing whales in their natural habitat.

Massive sand dunes characterize the area around Florence.

The Oregon dunes are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in the U.S., and stretch for 50 miles between Florence and Coos Bay.
