**Unforgettable Whale Watching Adventure in Belmar, NJ – July 21, 2024**
On July 21, 2024, we embarked on an exhilarating whale-watching adventure off the coast of Belmar, NJ. This trip turned out to be a remarkable experience, especially with the sighting of THREE magnificent humpback whales. Among them, one was lunge feeding, which is our favorite whale behavior! The entire spectacle was breathtaking and a testament to the wonders of marine life.
Belmar, located along the Jersey Shore, is an ideal spot for whale watching. The town is renowned for its beautiful beaches and vibrant marina. Our journey began early in the morning, departing from Belmar Marina, which is conveniently located near several charming local towns such as Asbury Park, Avon-by-the-Sea, and Bradley Beach. These towns offer a perfect blend of quaint charm and modern amenities, making them great places to explore before or after your whale-watching trip.
As we set sail, the anticipation grew. The first sighting was a pair of humpback whales swimming gracefully near our boat. The excitement on board was palpable as everyone grabbed their cameras to capture the moment. But the highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the lunge feeding display. Watching the whale break through the water surface with its mouth wide open to catch fish was an awe-inspiring sight that left us all in awe.
After the thrilling encounter, we headed back to the serene town of Belmar. Its laid-back atmosphere was the perfect contrast to the excitement of the day. We spent the evening enjoying a delicious seafood dinner at one of the local restaurants, reminiscing about our incredible day on the water.
our whale-watching trip from Belmar, NJ, was an unforgettable experience. The sight of three humpback whales, especially witnessing one lunge feeding, made this trip exceptionally special.
