Experience Kayak Whale Watching on Rosarito Beach

By Dave Notting


Most people know that they can go to Cancun or perhaps Cabo San Lucas to sit on the sandy beach and enjoy the beautiful, lush natural environment. Mexico is known for good times and fun in the sun, but there is something else you can experience there whales! Rosarito Beach sits just a ways off the shore of Baja, California, and it is more secluded and private than the popular beaches of Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, and Tijuana. Here you can enjoy the sandy white beaches, the beautiful waves, and all the lush vegetation found anywhere else. You can also enjoy sightings of grey whales, which are known to populate the waters in this area. This is also an exciting destination for kayaking!

If you take advantage of the kayaking opportunities available on Rosarito Beach, you're sure to get up close and personal with the magnificent whales that inhibit the area. Rosarito Beach is located just south of the pacific coast of Baja, California, which is also known to be famous of spotting glimpses of the grey whale. You're most likely to meet the whales during the winter months of December and January in Rosarito Beach.

Winter is the time of year when whales make the journey from their home in the Arctic Ocean to take in the warmth of Rosarito Beach, and begin their mating and birthing season. Traveling by kayak along the waters of Rosarito Beach provides you the ultimate opportunity to take pictures, view the whales through binoculars, and simply take in the wonders of watching these amazing creatures you otherwise would never have the chance to see.

Manatee, tropical birds, and sea lion are also known to occupy the area of Rosarito Beach. When you kayak this area of Mexico in the summer you will encounter beautiful creatures that you have never seen before, and probably will never see again. This is the perfect destination if you like to take pictures, especially if you consider yourself a nature photographer. Once you see the beautiful birds, fish, and other creatures that occupy this land you will never want to take pictures anywhere else!

When kayaking at Rosarito Beach you can choose between tours occurring during the day or overnight adventures that leave you to camp out on the sandy beaches just outside the surrounding islands. If you have the time to camp out you will be treated to the most exquisite sunrises you have ever seen as well as ample opportunity to explore the beautiful lands of Mexico.

Just keep in mind that the water inhabited by a lot of whales can become a bit rough, so you should try to condition your body to withstand these waters while kayaking. Of course, you don't have to be an experienced kayaker to enjoy this area as many beginners go through the tours without problem.
