Central Coast Whale Watching and Wildlife Viewing
Whale watching and wildlife viewing on California’s Central Coast is one of the most exciting wildlife experiences along the Pacific coastline. The waters surrounding Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, and Port San Luis Harbor are home to migrating whales, dolphins, sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and seabirds. Avila Beach Ocean Safaris offers small-group whale watching tours exploring the incredible marine wildlife of the Central Coast aboard a fast and comfortable Zodiac-style vessel.

Why Wildlife and Whale Watching on the Central Coast is so diverse and Incredible.

• California sea lions
• Pelicans and seabirds
