| San Francisco | Whales in Monterey Posted: Wed March 26, 2008 05:23 PM UTC
We are considering a whale-watching trip when we are in Monterey at the beginning of May. Should we book a whale-watching trip or will we see whales from the beach?

You are going to want to book a trip. I have had a second home in Pacific Grove for the past 15 years and have never seen a whale from shore. If you need contact info for whale watching tours, let me know and I can hook you up with a reputable company.

The whales most likely to be seen from the shore are grey whales as they migrate along the coast. But their Mexican breeding season is over and they are heading up the coast now. By May, all but the last of the straglers will be past Monterey.
The bigger ones, such as humpbacks and blues, seldom come in close. You might see one from the coast, but it is not a good bet. You'll do best on a whale-watching trip.

Hi,
Several whale watching boats are docked on the Monterey Wharf. You can walk up to most of them and book immediately. All are priced the same. Look at the boats, choose your favorite.
