The Lime Kiln Lighthouse, located at Lime Kiln State Park, is a popular destination for visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of orcas. This lighthouse is unique as it is situated in the only Whale Watching park in the United States. Thousands of visitors come each year, spending hours at the park's picnic tables and benches, hoping to see orcas swim by at close range. The park's deep waters and dramatic underwater topography make it an ideal spot for whale watching, with orcas sometimes coming as close as 20 feet from the shore.
For those looking to enhance their whale watching experience, Crystal Seas offers various tours, including sea kayaking and multi-day trips, increasing the chances of seeing these magnificent creatures. Their tours follow all the rules of the water, ensuring a respectful and safe environment for both the whales and the visitors. For more information, visit crystalseas.com.
