December through early February on their annual 6,000 mile journey in the Pacific Ocean from the Arctic to the warm waters of Baja CA. Then, during March through October, the whales return north with their calves. Check out this website for more information:
Yes, fires are allowed on the beaches. Use small pieces of wood only. Large logs are prohibited. The fire must be west of the vegetation line as beach grass burns easily. Please build your fire away from the beach grass & piles of driftwood. Extinguish the fire with water. Don’t just bury it; doing this will allow the fire to remain hot and continue to smolder for hours. This could also cause someone to get burned. Always follow fire restrictions established by Oregon Department of Forestry.

This has been mentioned by one guest out of the many dozens who have stayed at our home. I am honest and just want to let you know in advance in case this might be an issue with you. Contact me if you have any questions.
