And that means whale watching!
These images caught off of Rats Beach in Torrance.
Spring is when the whale watching tours kick into gear.
How can I see Whales off Palos Verdes and Rats Beach?
LA Waterfront Cruises is in San Pedro. Located at 1150 Nagoya Way, San Pedro, CA. Their phone is (310) 547-9916.
Another choice is to catch some views from the cliffs at Point Vicente Interpretive Center.
Of course you can always start a bit closer to the South Bay and catch a whale of a ride from Redondo Beach.
Whale of a Day returns April 12, 2025 at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center
The 37th annual festival celebrating the migration of the Pacific gray whale from its summer feeding grounds in the Bering and Chukchi Seas in Alaska, to the winter breeding and calving grounds in Baja California, will be held in person for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event will feature children’s games and crafts, tours of the Point Vicente Interpretive Center museum, live entertainment and an array of marine-themed vendors and organizations, plus food trucks, a beer and wine garden and a silent auction and raffle.
Since the last time the event took place in person, in 2019, the Point Vicente Interpretive Center museum gained new interactive exhibits that take visitors alongside gray whales and birds as they journey along the coast of the Peninsula. The displays also explore the history of animal and human migration and navigation.
