Whale Watching in Newport Beach, CA

Sunday, 16 Mar, 2023 0

Ranked as one of the top wildlife experiences in the US, whale watching is unmissable at Newport Beach.

It offers encounters with some of the world’s most fascinating marine life along the city’s 10 miles of coastline. It almost guarantees sightings whatever the season.

To catch a sight of the impressive giant blue whale, visit between May and November, when the waters are warmer. From winter to spring, grey whales come out to play, alongside humpbacks, seals and even dolphins.

For the most impressive whale watching, head out on an organised tour or private cruise, led by an expert crew . Visitors can also charter a yacht and explore solo.

With this option, you can dock at one of Newport Beach’s many ocean-facing restaurants and dine on board.

Stay at Balboa Bay Resort, just a short drive from Balboa Peninsula, the starting point for the best whale watching excursions.

The hotel is situated on 15 acres of bay, with a collection of luxury rooms and suites, waterfront A+O Restaurant and a tranquil spa.

Alternative hotels include Lido House, Pelican Hill and newly opened VEA Newport Beach.
