WHALE WATCHING

Some of the best whale watching can be found right here off the coast of Cape Cod and if you have never seen a humpback whale at close quarters, or seen a mum and her calf breach together, then you have a real treat in store. Boats go out several times each day between April and October - weather permitting. Remember that you go out 5 miles into the Atlantic Ocean so take plenty of warm clothing even in the height of summer. Blue on some people doesn't look too cool! Several boat companies run trips out to see the whales...
