The Southern California coast is home to an array of marine life. In addition to dolphins, sea lions, and seals, these Pacific waters are witness to some of the longest mammal migrations on earth by a multitude of whale species. See these amazing creatures up close on a Long Beach whale watching tour. About 25 miles south of LA, Long Beach offers the beautiful coastal backdrop of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and boat access to see sperm, gray, blue, minke, and humpback whales.
