2 FOR 1 WHALE WATCHING & LOCAL SPORTSFISHING
WITH DANA WHARF SPORTFISHING & WHALE WATCHING
DANA POINT HARBOR, CA – April 2009 -Each winter, thousands of California Gray Whales leave the cold Artic Seas and follow the coastline to the warm, calm waters of Southern California and Baja. This 5,000-mile migration brings much of the pod past Dana Point, where pods of Giant Grays can be easily seen and photographed. Many believe Dana Point is a reference “landmark” for the whales and is famous as a gathering area; they trace one of nature’s longest migratory paths. The Gray Whales are now heading back north on their migratory path through April. Although the Gray Whales are heading back home to the Arctic, other whales are lounging along our coast which makes Whale Watching season a year round event. After the Gray Whales migrate past Dana Point, we start seeing Blue whales, Orcas and most recently a Humpback whale (photo attached). Not only can you take in the majestic wonder of the whale sightings, but the many different species of dolphins are also within our coastline. They love to ‘bow-ride’ on the tour boats showing off to their adoring fans!
Due to the unique shape of Dana Point Harbor, it is ideally located for easy and quick access to board a boat and be in the open ocean in 5 minutes. Whale watching has, in fact, become a traditional winter activity in California. Dana Point Harbor is the official “Whale Watching Capital of the West”.
Dana Wharf is extending their 2 for 1 Tuesdays to include 2 for 1 Wednesdays, so that everyone has a chance to come out and experience this magical migration. The 2 for 1 Tuesdays & 2 for 1 Wednesdays also include their local fishing trips! Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching has been in business for over thirty years and takes pride in their Coast Guard approved, clean and state of the art tour boats.
