Watch: Gray Whale Frolics Yards from Shore

A local whale watching company captured video of a grey whale in the shallows of Newport Beach.


A Newport Beach whale watching company recently captured amazing footage of a full-grown grey whale frolicking in the shallows off the Balboa Peninsula.

The Newport Coastal Adventure video filmed last week shows the barnacle-covered whale feeding just yards off shore as stunned children and families look on. According to the Newport Coastal Adventure’s Facebook page, the whale was likely ”skim-feeding” on plankton.
