Killer Whales In South Bay 🐋
Transcript
Killer whales off the coast of the South Bay. If you're a local, you already know that January and February are absolute prime time for whale watching off the coast everywhere from El Segundo to San Pedro. Just this weekend, a small gray whale was hanging out with the surfers on the North side of the Hermosa Beach Tier, and there have been multiple killer whale sightings in between our beaches rank Catalina Island. There's two pods that frequent the South Bay Worst. One is the California two zero two, also known as the smileys, as well as the California tier, who follow the gray whale migration patterns right past our beaches. If you wanna see these whales for yourself, there's plenty of boat tours out of Redondo Beach at Kings Harbour as well as Long Beach and San Pedro that that best you out in the water to see these things. But if you're not really a boat person, just grab a pair of binoculars and head to either the Hermosa Beach Pier to get far out there or off the cliffs in Tier where you might be able to catch a glimpse of one of these insane animals.
