From late December to early April, San Diego celebrates the migration of thousands of California Gray Whales. The gray whale is one of the animal kingdom’s great migrators. Traveling in groups called pods, some of these giants swim 12,430 miles (20,000 kilometers) round-trip from their summer home in Alaskan waters to the warmer waters off the Mexican coast. The whales winter and breed in the shallow southern waters and balmier climate.
Information on Whale Watching events and opportunities are listed on this great website, thebigbay.com. Details on what’s happening with cruises, sport fishing, restaurants and hotels are included. You can also find a calendar of San Diego Bayfront Activities which currently lists bayfront entertainment and family fun activities through April 18, 2010.
