Why February

February is the best single month to see gray whale mother-calf pairs. Northbound calves hug the coastline for protection, putting sightings from the cliff edge unusually close. The property runs a naturalist-led Mimosas and Whales breakfast on the Sierra Mar terrace when conditions allow.

What's possible this month
Watch northbound mother-calf gray whale pairs swimming close to shore
Join the naturalist-led Mimosas and Whales breakfast on the Sierra Mar terrace
Hike Soberanes Canyon on clear mornings while waterfalls are running hard
Scan the coastal ridge for California condors on dry afternoons
