HAPPITRAVELS® HELPFUL HINTS AND LOCAL FAVORITES

🐬 HOW TO SEE DOLPHINS!! 🐬

Watch the water just beyond the rock jetty.
Dolphins often appear around 7 AM or 3 PM.
Sometimes they jump, but usually, you’ll spot their dorsal fin. I’ve even had them swim under my boogie board!
When you see them, stay calm—don’t swim after them. If you're peaceful, maybe even hum, they might reward you with some acrobatic moves!
