50 Amazing "Off The Beaten Path " Things To Do In Los Angeles

5. WHALE WATCHING

This is the best time of year to take to the seas with a virtual guarantee of spotting the majestic mammals (mostly grey whales) as they make their way from feedings grounds in the northern Bering Sea to the southern waters of Mexico for mating.  This has been a record year for sightings with statistical counts double that of last year's collected data and reports of other rare species like orkas, sperm whales and a humpback being spotted. It has also been an exceptionally warm season which makes a day on the ocean that much more comfortable. I recommend Captain Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari. Launching out of Dana Point in southern Orange County, the captains have an uncanny way of knowing just where to find whales, dolphins and sea lions, creating an unforgettable experience for their passengers.
