Can I really see whales in San Diego beach?

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

If you go to San Diego, don’t miss the whale watching event.

Have a treat of Nature’s spectacle…watch the whales at the coast of San Diego. It is the ideal place to watch the annual migration of the gray whale.  Looked upon as one of nature’s ultimate spectacles; the migration of gray whales is nothing short of breathtaking.  The coastline of San Diego is one of their migratory points as they travel from the waters of the Arctic to the warmer regions of the Baja (California), where females also give birth.

Yearly an estimated 26,000 gray whales  make the long journey of 10,000+ miles from the Arctic to the Baja and back.  According to  Birch Aquarium in San Diego, the gray whales are seen most frequently from December through March.  While they travel in dozens normally, it’s nothing to see pods of them (2 – 3) as they travel during migration.
