Wow! Megan King captured this great photo of a whale just off Seven Mile Beach! Megan says the whale was off the 96th Street beach when she took the picture aboard a boat. What a magnificent creature!
WHALE WATCHING, ANYONE? Whales and dolphins can often be seen in South Jersey waters. Whales are usually further offshore than the one Megan King saw last weekend (see photo above), but are frequently seen on whale watching trips or by those fishing a several miles out. Pods of dolphins can often be observed from the beach as they make their way right along the shore. At times they can be seen in inlets or even the back bays. Like other creatures they follow their food source, and will go wherever their next meal can be found.
