Bay Area Recreation

Boating/Sailing:

From November to April, try whale watching.  Gray whales can be observed making the two-month 3,000-mile trip from the artic to Baja California to calve and feed in the warm southern waters.  The gentle giants can be observed from shore north of the city at Point Reyes Lighthouse or one of the special whale watching tours offered by some of the charter companies above.
