Whale Watch & Tide Pool Festival
1800 Cabrillo Memorial Drive, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $3 - $5
Each winter the Pacific Gray Whales pass by the western overlook of Cabrillo National Monument. After spending the summer feeding in the food-rich waters of the Arctic, the Grays swim south along the coast to the bays of Baja California where they mate and nurse their young.
The two-day festival features whale watching at the recently redesigned Whale Watch and Kelp Forest Overlook and exhibitors from a variety of organizations that support ocean conservation.
Event includes tide pool exploration and a presentation on marine protected areas, Ranger programs on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and kelp forest ecology, and interactive storytelling for children about the creation of the tides.
