It seems whales are spending more and more time off the coast of southern New Jersey. While Cape May is currently experiencing a quiet period, whale spotting is expected to pick up again in just a few months. And, early spring is just the beginning. Expect to see whales as they come and go to feed all summer long. Spotted most often are immature (sub-adults) or adults not on a migratory pattern. Humpback, Finback, and Minke are most common.
Here’s what Conde Nast Traveler said about whale watching in Cape May:
“A true paradise for animal enthusiasts, this tiny peninsula at the southern tip of New Jersey offers some of the best birdwatching in the country—and, from March to December, fantastic whale watching. Hop on the Cape May Whale Watcher for the “Cetacean Spectacular,” a three-hour voyage into the Delaware Bay. Marine mammal sightings are guaranteed, or your next trip is free. Humpbacks, fin whales, and bottlenose dolphins are a common sight, though this is also a great place to spot native shorebirds, ospreys, and even bald eagles.”
