Humpback whales are commonly seen off the Pacific Coast, particularly during migration seasons.

Humpback whales are known for their long migrations, traveling from feeding grounds in the cold waters of the Pacific to warmer waters for breeding. They are frequently spotted off the Pacific Coast, especially in places like California, Oregon, and Washington, during their migration from the summer feeding areas to the winter breeding grounds. These whales are famous for their acrobatic behaviors, including breaching and tail slapping. While orcas and blue whales are also seen in the region, humpbacks are more commonly observed.
