Whale Watching Season

Whale Watching Season

Whale Watching Season
9 AM - 5 PM, ongoing daily from January 1, 2025 until January 30, 2025.
Cabrillo National Monument
All Ages

Witness the Annual Winter Journey of the Pacific gray whale. Each winter, the Pacific gray whales pass by the western overlooks of Cabrillo National Monument--San Diego's only national park. After spending the summer feeding in the food-rich waters of the Arctic, the whales swim south along the coast to the bays of Baja California, where they mate and nurse their young. Along the way, they pass Point Loma and Cabrillo National Monument, where you can witness their annual winter journey. Once nearly hunted into extinction, these majestic animal populations are now considered close to their pre-exploitation numbers.

Mid-January is the peak time for their migration. National Park Service entrance fees and policies apply.

Opening Date: Jan. 1, 2025
