Our Pacific coast is a prime spot to witness majestic humpback whales through October. Ready to spot these gentle giants as they migrate to our warm waters? Here are a few tips:
1. Head to locations like Isla del Caño, Marino Ballena National Park, or Drake Bay.
2. Opt for early morning or late afternoon boat tours.
3. Grab your binoculars to enhance your experience and get a closer look.
4. Keep your ears open for the sound of whales exhaling, a telltale sign they’re nearby.
5. Whale watching requires patience, but the reward of seeing these magnificent animals is worth it.

July is the beginning of sea turtle hatching season and from now through November, baby sea turtles will be making their way to the ocean along our shores.
During this time, remember to keep our beaches dark and avoid using flashlights or flash photography if you are watching the hatching. Sea turtles follow the light of the moon to the ocean and other lights on the beach can disorient them and keep them from finding the sea. Also, remember to stay clear of marked nests you may see on beaches.
