Answer
Whales are not everyday sights from the Boardwalk, but captains and anglers occasionally report humpback and fin whales offshore in late fall through spring when baitfish concentrate. Dedicated whale-watching trips run less frequently than summer dolphin cruises—confirm seasonal schedules from West Ocean City and Ocean City marinas rather than assuming daily departures.
