The calm waters of this beach attract whales, which choose to rest near the coast. This phenomenon allows our visitors to witness the impressive spectacle of the whales at a surprisingly close distance from the shore, providing a truly exceptional land-based viewing experience. Participants have the opportunity to admire the majesty of these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat without the need to venture into the sea.

Forgetting the watch

5.00To enjoy the proximity of the whales you have to go with the high tide and it was very early (7am) so we decided to go by taxi to manage our times and it really was the best. We were watching them play and jump very close to us, sitting on the shore watching the sea with great peace and without any desire to leave. Take the mate and forget everything, they give the best show
