Every winter weekend hundreds of park visitors are assisted in observing the whales off Bodega Head by volunteers. The whales begin their journey at their summer feeding grounds off Arctic waters of the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, to their winter calving lagoons off Baja California, Mexico, traveling south along the coast. They return after breeding or with their young via the same route, usually closer to shore with the mothers on the outside and the calves closer inland for protection. Join us for one of nature's greatest annual shows!
State Parks Volunteer Docents are stationed at Bodega Head on weekends from January through Mother's Day weekend in May.
