The landscape remains stunning, with dramatic coastal views, stormy seas, and crisp, fresh air. This is a great time to enjoy storm watching, outdoor adventures, and cozy retreats in charming towns like Bandon, Gold Beach, and Coos Bay. Here are some top activities to enjoy off highway 101 Oregon during the winter months:

- Winter is a peaceful time to explore the region’s natural beauty on foot. You’ll find fewer crowds and still get to enjoy lush green forests, scenic coastal cliffs, and sweeping ocean views. Check out parks like Shore Acres the Bandon State Natural Area.
- Winter marks the beginning of the gray whale migration along the Oregon Coast, with whales heading south from their feeding grounds in the north to the warmer waters off Baja California. The Southern Oregon Coast is one of the best places to see these magnificent creatures. Visit Cape Arago, Bandon, and Gold Beach for some of the best vantage points. Some locations even have whale watching stations or volunteers to help spot whales and provide information.
- The Southern Oregon Coast has several historic lighthouses that are particularly picturesque in winter. Many are open to visitors during the off-season and provide a great opportunity to explore coastal history. Check out the Heceta Head Lighthouse (near Florence): One of the most iconic lighthouses in Oregon, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It’s a short hike up to the lighthouse and offers spectacular winter views. Coquille River Lighthouse (Bandon): This historic lighthouse is located near the entrance to the Coquille River, and while it’s not open for tours in winter, you can still enjoy views from the nearby beach. Cape Blanco Lighthouse (Port Orford): The oldest lighthouse on the Oregon Coast, perched on a high bluff. It remains open year-round, and the views are especially dramatic in winter.
