If you see people gathered on the dune crossovers with binoculars, they are probably watching whales. The calving grounds for endangered North Atlantic Right Whales are off our coast, and if you’re lucky, you may see mothers with calves some distance offshore.
As a frequent visitor to the Daytona Beach area, I am always on the lookout for fun ways to enjoy all that the city has to offer.
