Newport Beach is a wonderful place for whaling watching throughout the year whales migrate through this area. In the early spring months, gray whales are predominantly seen. Besides seeing the whales from onshore, there are many whale watching cruises including Davey’s Locker and Newport Landing Whale Watching. Look at each individual cruise to see how large it is and how it best fits the experience you are looking for. Most cruises disembark at the end of Palm Street on the Balboa Peninsula, near the Balboa Fun Zone. This is a great away to experience many different things that Newport Beach has to offer.
