🐋 Trip Report — Friday, October 30 asbury Park and the Jersey Girl
An absolutely beautiful day on the ocean with about 50 passengers aboard Jersey Girl!
We headed out of Shark River Inlet after hearing reports of whales off Allenhurst and Monmouth Beach. Almost as soon as we turned north, we spotted a spout in the distance. There it was—a beautiful humpback whale about half a mile off the beach near Convention Hall in Asbury Park!

This whale was VERY active, treating everyone to plenty of lunge feeding and fantastic views. Our passengers were thrilled, and dolphins added to an already wonderful trip! 🐬
With the whale so close to home, we enjoyed a beautiful couple of hours on the ocean and even returned a little early. Mild temperatures, an active humpback and views of Asbury Park, Bradley Beach and Allenhurst—what a way to finish October!
Whales are being reported up and down the Jersey Shore, from Sandy Hook and Sea Bright south to Point Pleasant, Bay Head and Island Beach State Park, with plenty of sightings in between.
Come see them with us! We’re running trips five days a week through mid-December, weather permitting. Enjoy these beautiful fall days aboard Jersey Girl with Jersey Shore Whale Watch! 🌊
