A Whale of a Time in Newport Beach

Are you looking for something fun to do this weekend with the whole family? Newport Beach is the perfect place to go whale watching and now through April is the best time to view grey whales off of the coast!

Newport Beach is internationally recognized as one of the top whale watching destinations in the world! Minutes from the coast of Newport Beach lies a thriving highway for sea life migration from Alaska down to Mexico.

Thousands of whales, dolphins, marine birds and seals are spotted each season along our shimmering coastline. In fact, just yesterday 17 Gray whales, 95 Bottlenose dolphins and 90 Pacific Whitesided Dolphins were seen!

Start your oceanic adventure in Newport Beach’s iconic Fun Zone on Balboa Peninsula where most boating tour and rentals begin.
