Magdalena Bay on the Southern part of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico is best known as a place where the California Gray Whales, Eschrichtius robustus, give birth. It is a beautiful spot with little human impact. Gray Whales migrate there from Alaska. These are coastal whales that migrates along the North American Pacific Coast between arctic seas and the lagoons of Baja California, Mexico. Frequently visible from shore, Gray Whales provide a unique opportunity for land and boat observation, and commercial whale watching has become a major industry along the migration route. Visitors to the calving and breeding lagoons sometimes encounter the phenomenon of the "friendlies"; gray whales that closely approach small boats and allow themselves to be touched by humans.
