If you ever spent time at a coastal destination, you’ve probably noticed advertisements for experiences that will bring you closer to the marine life inhabiting the oceans at your chosen destination. And one of the top choices for nature lovers is whale watching! 

One of the best countries in the world for doing this activity just happens to be the United States, and here are three places that you should keep in mind for whale watching.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Cape Cod is the home of the cold, nutrient-rich water of the North Atlantic Ocean, which makes it an ideal choice for whale watching. The peak watching season from April to October coincides with the best weather in this beautiful natural destination.

Monterey Bay, California

Even those who don’t like boat rides can have good whale watching on the shores of Monterey Bay. Why? Whales are so common in this small Pacific body of water that they can often be seen from the shores of coastal towns like Monterey and Santa Cruz! 

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau’s Inside Passage waters are yet another great place to find whales in the United States. The memorable setting, including snow-capped mountains and evergreen trees, makes it an idyllic setting to look for whales.
