As preschool season begins, whale season ends, for me anyway. But I’ve heard reports from just a few days ago, so you might still be able to see some.
Sometimes you can be on the bridge and see absolutely nothing, even during the middle of an epic season like 2017. But other times, you could see many whales, perhaps a dozen and a half at one time, on both sides of the bridge.
I’ve never seen them “spyglassing” or breeching, but apparently others have from the GGB. Maybe next year for me.
From the west side sidewalk, South (aka PGE) Tower:
And without the scribbling:
You’d also see them near Alcatraz, Angel Island, Horseshoe Bay, and Crissy Field, in addition to the entire part of the Golden Gate on the west side of the bridge.
But the best view is when you’re looking down on them when they are very close to the towers.
