Whale watching at the Beach
Near Crescent City - Del Norte
California
Del Norte Redwood State Park has one of the best lookouts at the end of the 3-mile-long Endert's Beach Road, which leads off U.S. Highway 101 a mile south of Crescent City. There are displays at the overlook that describe the whales and their migration as they travel up and down the Pacific coast.
Tolowa Dunes State Park offers ample parking and a short hike to the ocean for a lookout. But the most convenient spot is the 9th Street viewing area.
