San Diego

Sure, you could visit Shamu and entourage at SeaWorld, like everyone else, or you could opt to encounter gargantuan gray whales, in their natural element, out in the great blue yonder. They pass in close proximity to San Diego Bay every winter (peak viewing time is from mid-December to mid-March), en route to their breeding lagoons at Baja’s southern tip (see Los Cabos, above). The sight of these gentle, 50-ft-long whales traveling together on an epic 5,000 mile journey is an inspirational one that San Diego residents and visitors can experience from land or sea – while numerous local companies can bring you up close by boat, you can also head to the city’s prime land-based viewing spot, the Cabrillo National Monument, where a panoramic glass-encased observatory will let you take it all in from 400+ feet above sea level.
