March is peak season for the migration of the whales, which trek back and forth between Mexico and Alaska. Dana Point is the ultimate spot to watch them in action, with up to 80 whales moving through on any given day! Spanning over the first two weekends in March, with a special parade to kick off the festivities the morning of March 5, being in Anaheim during this time of year is truly special.
Visitors can enjoy free parking and water taxi rides on all festival days. Take one of the many excursions into the water, whether on the original two-hour tour or on a massive yacht. Reserve your spot now, as the festival fills up quickly!
Taking It All In
Surrounding the festival are a number of boutiques, restaurants and food trucks. Indulge in some of the best seafood in Anaheim in between watching the whales race along the coast. There’s also a short three mile hike from the bluffs to the coast where you may be able to spot some of the migration patterns.
The festival is one that can’t be missed and attracts visitors from around the globe. Stop by and experience the majesty of California’s biggest resident!
