Sea Otter Island National Park has many stories to tell. A journey along the shore of this island, perched off the southern coast of Oregon, offers visitors a chance to read its ocean stories. Rich tide pools found in its sheltered coves offer a glimpse of the teeming life lived below the water’s surface, while the rocky outcroppings just off the coast shout the story of the sea lion, murmur the secrets of the grey whale, or whisper the tale of shipwrecks from years past.

Named because of its resemblance to a sea otter, the island itself has many stories to share. Self-sufficiency, bravery, and determination are woven throughout the human stories of Sea Otter Island from recent history to the distant, distant past. The lesson of interdependence can be learned by observing the island’s complex interplay of plant and animal species. Established with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt in 1932, Sea Otter Island National Park preserves both human history and natural resources for the visitors of today.
