Palos Verdes homes owners love to see whales off their coast and the Whale Watching season is upon us. It officially started December 1, 2011 and according to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center, 559 whales have been spotted to date. This is a higher number than normal and 5 whales were spotted just this morning! Most of the whales are traveling south to Baja but seven were spotted going north.
