Whales off San Diego, California
View Original Description
San Diego use to be know for maily seeing Grey Whales which pass in close by every winter from mid-December to mid-March. Over 15,000 of these peaceful "giants of the sea" make the trek from the chilly Alaskan seas to the warm water breeding lagoons of Baja California.
Recently Blue Whale migration has taken place during the warmer water months of summer and fall. Finback Whales (second largest whale) are also calling southern California waters their home.
Cabrillo National Monument, situated on the panoramic Point Loma peninsula, offers a glassed-in observatory from which to spot the whales, examine whale exhibits and listen to a taped narration describing characteristics of these popular mammals.
