At Point Reyes National Seashore
🐋Peak season is January through April
🧥Bring layers, it gets windy on the cliffs
🔭Binoculars help spot spouts and blowholes

Gray whales cruise past the coast from January through April, turning this rugged stretch of shoreline into a front-row seat for one of nature's great migrations. Keep your eyes peeled for tule elk, elephant seals, and some of the 490 bird species that call this 71,000-acre seashore home.
