Where to see seals on the coast?

Discussion/Opinion

Hello all.

I‘m originally from Oregon and have been living overseas for about 20 years now. I‘m traveling with my family back home tomorrow and one of my sons would love to see harbour seals while we’re there. We already plan to see the sea lions at Newport Bay.

The only time I recall seeing seals when I lived in Oregon was in the Nestucca River one time. Is there anywhere that you can consistently find them? I found some drone footage of them at Salishan Spit near Lincoln City, but I think the road in there is gated so probably hard to access. Anywhere else that’s easier?

Thanks!
