Whale visits beachgoers in Laguna Beach
A gray whale showed up inside Dana Point Harbor today and was lost inside for a couple hours, after it exited the harbor, it continued up the coast towards Alaska where I got this video in front of Montage Hotel near Aliso Beach in Laguna Beach, California. The rest of the migrating gray whales are feeding right now up North in Alaskan waters. For media inquiries, email mark@orangecountyoutdoors.com

That's a very young gray whale.. its unbelievable how the whale swam so close to the shore and all those people had no idea it was even there.

They knew it was there💀💀 it literally came up out of water and the guy pointed at it. This probably has happened before, if this spot is known for getting sea animals so there used to it!!!
I just love how everybody, including the big sea creature are so calm and minding their own businesses.... I loved everything about this clip ❤️❤️❤️❤️

California Gray Whales are completely chill. They migrate south every winter to birth in the waters of Baja California, Mexico. Small boats paddle out into the bay, to whale watch. The mothers Grays are known for bringing their babies up to the boats to show them off. Mother and baby will pull up alongside the boats and wait to be petted.

Gray whales often come close to shore to feed. I’ve seen them in Puget Sound within 10 feet of shore and at Depot Bay near Lincoln City Oregon they come right up to the sea wall where you can park and watch them feeding. Its really something to see them so close in such shallow water.

Wow i love that little cove, clear water that gets very deep very quickly , especially near the rocks. I live where we have hundreds of kilometres of beach and it is crystal clear water, but it tapers off very very slowly, so you normally have to go out a fair way to get really deep water. Being close to the beach is good you can experience the deep without going to far from shore, here we have great white sharks too, so going a long way from the beach is take your life in your own hands sort of stuff.

Reminds me of beaches where I grew up in Denmark and Albany in South West, Western Australia - beautiful clear water coves that can get deep quickly - with Wales and white pointers - definitely a few people have been eaten. Apparently in Albany - back in the 70s, when whaling was legal, you could go down to the whaling jetty and see massive whites feeding on the whale carcasses. Would have been a sight for sure!
