San Diego Whale Watching Tours

Oceanside Harbor Oceanside Adventures Vessel

San Diego is by far one of the best places in the country to go on a whale watching tour. In this article, I would like to present to you a comprehensive list of all possible San Diego whale watching tours available in San Diego County.

Let’s See Some Whales and Dolphins!

There are several species of whale to encounter here, especially during the Gray whales’ migration season (Nov-April). The Blue whale (May-Nov) is another species that is commonly seen passing by the coastline of San Diego.

Along with whales, there are also four possible species of dolphins frequently seen on a San Diego whale watching tour. These include the Pacific bottlenose dolphin, Risso’s dolphin, common dolphin, and the Pacific white-sided dolphin.

The Beaches of San Diego County-Updated 2020

Stonesteps Beach Beaches of San Diego County

Here I would like to set up a comprehensive list of the beaches of San Diego County, beginning with the most northern shore and making my way down the coast until the most southern beach sharing its border with Mexico.

For all those that live in San Diego, we are so incredibly fortunate to live in this gorgeous city. I mean, with an average daytime temperature of 69.8` F, what is not to love?

San Diego County has over 70 miles of unique coastline to appreciate and explore!

Experience San Diego Like a Local!

Having been fortunate enough to live in this area for over 30 years, I have explored almost every single mile, that is, except on the military beaches (San Diego has three of them. But I did get a few pictures from the outside looking in, and for that I am grateful.

About two years ago, I made a pact with myself to document as many of the beaches of San Diego County as I could.  To make things as easy as possible, I will be listing each beach and including the following criteria-

  • Map
  • Activities Available
  • Restrooms
  • Parking
  • Points of Interest
  • My Rating (1-5 with five being the highest)
  • Additional Information

(As you can see, restroom availability is a critical metric!)

I have written previously on many of these locations so  I will also be linking each relevant post under Additional Information.

(Please have a look and share it with those that you love.)

Whether you go to the beach for the sun, water, or walk on the sand, the beaches of San Diego County have something for everyone.

Let’s have a look!

La Jolla is a popular seaside coastal community located 20 minutes from Downtown San Diego.  One of the very first places I take visitors from out of town is La Jolla. And once here, we venture off on a La Jolla coast walk.

Walking the Coast of La Jolla

There are so many things to experience in La Jolla, but it is an absolute must to walk the coast of La Jolla.

There are all kinds of things to do in La Jolla: such as hiking, beachcombing, biking, swimming, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, really the possibilities are endless here!

And do not get me started on all the fantastic photo opportunities available as well!
