San Diego

Sportsfishing and Whale Watching

San Diego has one of the largest fleets of commercial sportfishing boats in the U.S. Sportfishing can be enjoyed from numerous ports and harbors, where you can embark on an expedition to explore the bounty of the sea. Whether a day, day, twilight or 5 or 10-day long-range offshore trip into the deep blue Pacific there are plenty of options to choose from.

There are a number of different ways to experience whale watching in San Diego. A couple of great spots to view the grey whale migration from shore include the Birch Aquarium, the Cabrillo National Monument and Torrey Pines State Reserve where the hiking trails offer expansive views of the Pacific. If you're interested in a closer look at these majestic creatures, enjoy a whale watching excursion which is the best way to see a blue whale as they tend to stay farther out to sea.
