  • Whale Watching in California State Parks
    1/2009 WHALE WATCHING IN CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS Note: It's always a good idea to call the park before your visit to check on current conditions. From December through March, visitors have the opportunity to view the return of the gray whale, the state's official marine mammal. The annual migration of thousands of gray whales (up to 50 long and 45 tons each) begins in Alaskan and moves south along California's coastline to birthing and breeding waters in Baja California. On their journey, the whales move past Point Reyes, the Farallon Islands, through Half Moon Bay and Monterey Bay, and follow the coastline along Southern California before reaching Mexico. The whales travel in small groups and stay close to the shoreline for protection from predators, such as killer whales. Traveling 70 to 80 miles per day, the whales' spouts of vaporized water (at times reaching 12 feet high) can be seen as the whales surface every three to five minutes to breathe. Their 12,000- mile round-trip trek is the longest known distance any mammal migrates on an annual basis. The whales' migration pattern reverses when they lead their new- born calves back to Alaska. State park whale watching sites include: HUMBOLDT COUNTY Humboldt Lagoons State Park (Dry Lagoon), phone: (707) 677-3121 Patrick's Point State Park (Palmer's Point and Wedding Rock) in Trinidad phone: (707) 677-3570 Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park (Gold Bluffs Beach), phone: (707) 464- 6101, extension 5300 MENDOCINO COUNTY MacKerricher State Park (Laguna Point) on the Mendocino Coast three miles north of Fort Bragg, phone: (707) 964-9112 or (707) 937-5804 MONTEREY COUNTY Julia Pfeiffer Burns State park (Vista Point, Highway 1), phone (831) 667-2315 ORANGE COUNTY Crystal Cove State Park (949) 494-3539 SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY Montaña de Oro State Park, phone: (805) 528-0513 San Simeon State Beach, phone: (805) 927-2035 SANTA BARBARA COUNTY El Capitan State Beach (805) 585-1850 SAN LUIS OBISPO OUNTY Estero Bluffs State Park (805) 772-7434 .
