The Oregon Coast Aquarium is one of the most alluring attractions on the Oregon Coast.  This aquarium is home to over 1500 marine animals and is divided into four sections:  Open Sea, The Tube, Halibut Flat and Orford Reef.  There is also a suspended 20 ft beak whale skeleton which is very interesting.

 The many guides and volunteers at the aquarium will be happy to answer any of your questions.  The docents are volunteers from the community and are very skilled and trained reagarding the details of the marine life here.  There is also a touchy-feely tank that will give you opportunity to actually feel many of the marine life here.
