VIEWING GUIDE
View our guide on when, where, and how to watch marine animals from shore.
The Whale Trail expanded to California in 2014 when the National Marine Sanctuary, West Coast Region sponsored our first sites and signs in the Bay Area, and three stops on the Orca Tour! The Whale Trail has continued to grow steadily in the Golden State, adding six new signs on the central Coast in 2016 and 12 new signs in northern California 2018. Thank you to all our partners and sponsors for the initial and ongoing support!
