Agate Beach Motel | Every Stay Gives Back

The Oregon Coast Aquarium offers engaging experiences by immersing visitors in the diverse marine environments of the Oregon Coast, fostering a deep connection to the ocean and inspiring conservation efforts. Through interactive exhibits, such as touch pools where guests can handle starfish and anemones, and the immersive "Passages of the Deep" tunnel that allows visitors to walk beneath swirling schools of fish and sharks, the aquarium creates a captivating and educational atmosphere. Programs like behind-the-scenes tours, animal encounters, and conservation-focused presentations further enhance understanding and appreciation of marine life. By showcasing the intricate beauty and ecological importance of local marine ecosystems, the aquarium motivates visitors to support and participate in ocean conservation initiatives.

The Aquarium also relies on a network of wildlife agencies whose volunteers, staff, and medical professionals provide a safety net for the ocean/s most vulnerable species. Working with organizations across the country, the Aquarium provides critical care to sick or injured sea turtles, aquatic mammals, and other endangered marine animals.
