Whale Watching around LA
 
The last week of March my family will be visiting LA. Can you still see whales? Where is the best coast location in the LA area? Suggestions for Whale-watching cruises in that area. Thanks

If you're going to be in the Orange County area, there's also whale watching out of Balboa Island (near Newport Beach). Their website is: http://www.newportwhalewatching.com/map.jpg

Thanks for the information. I look forward to seeing some whales hopefully.

Ventura is not an hour from most parts of LA - maybe from the San Fernando Valley, but not downtown LA or the beach areas. And there's not 1-1/2 hours between Ventura and Santa Barbara - actually less than an hour.
