HOW TO SEE DOLPHINS!!

Watch the water just beyond the rock jetty. 

Sometimes they are jumping, but mostly you see their back fin (dorsal fin). 

They tend to show up early morning around 7 AM or 3 PM.

I have had them swim under my boogie board!

When you see the dolphins don’t swim after them.  Be peaceful, sing or hum and they may reward you by doing acrobats!
