Laguna Beach kayaking with dolphins
COMMON DOLPHINS ARE SO PLAYFUL AND ACROBATIC, THEY SHOULD BE CALLED GYMNAST DOLPHINS!
We often see Bottle Nosed Dolphins and Sea Lions during our kayak tours of Laguna Beach but, Common dolphins are our most abundant flippered friend. A typical pod ranges from 5 to 200 individuals but can be seen in numbers in the thousands! There are over 400,000 Common Dolphins in southern California alone with the majority of them hanging out in the Laguna Beach marine preserve. Marine preserves provide an abundance of food for Dolphins such as herring, Squid, and sardines. Common Dolphins range from 6 to 9 feet in length and can reach 200-300 lbs.Mpa’s also provide the opportunity for scientists to study these animals which are in there natural unmolested habitat. The more we know, the more we can protect the beautiful intelligent creatures.
