Whale Watching
It is an exciting experience to watch whales near the California coast. Watch for breaching, blowing, lobtailing (tail slapping), and other behaviors from December through March when gray whales migrate south, and blue and humpback whales migrate north.
On land, vantage points at high elevations, like the headlands at Montara and Half Moon Bay offer spectacular views. Try the beaches of Ventura, Port Hueneme or Santa Barbara. The best days are calm ones without whitecaps.
Newport Landing Whale Watching Cruises offers three trips a day, all year long. Other boat companies with good reputations for whale watching include Capt.
