Gray Whale Migration Viewing

Every day from Dec. 1 to May 31

At Point Reyes National Seashore
Bring binoculars to enhance your view
Bring a light jacket, it gets windy
Also look for elephant seals and tule elk

Gray whales pass Point Reyes from December through May, and the Lighthouse and Chimney Rock areas put you front row for the show. Bring binoculars: you might also spot seals, elk, or elephant seals while you wait.
