Whale Watching

I have been to Cabo several times in the past but never during whale season. Everyday, we could see the whale watching boats in the water in front of our beach. Sometimes we could see them blow water into the air, but they were always too far out. Flash forward to our last night in Cabo! It was unbelievable. We were sitting at happy hour in the bar on the beach when all of the sudden, several people saw a whale come all the way up out of the water. I decided right then and there to go down on the beach to attempt to get a video of it. I had no idea the show I was in for! There were 4 or 5 whales playing in the surf approximately 100 to 150 feet off shore! They were so close that it made me nervous that they were going to beach themselves. Slowly, more and more people joined me on the beach taking pictures, taking video, talking excitedly and just gasping at the beauty of these whales. I have NEVER experienced anything like it. For 45 minutes, these whales had no idea the audience they had as they migrated down the beach. I took tons of pictures and video but NONE of them capture the beauty or the closeness of these whales. I continue to be in awe everytime I think of it. This video is really windy but you can get the general idea of how close the whales actually were.
