Belmar departure
Whale Watching Tour in Belmar, NJ
A family-friendly coast-and-wildlife trip aboard the Jersey Girl, with land generally in view and room to watch for whales, dolphins, sharks, and rays.
Watch the Jersey Shore work its way along the horizon.
Bill McKim’s Jersey Shore Whale Watch runs this Belmar whale-watching experience aboard the Jersey Girl. The current offer page describes a three-hour shoreline trip that may include the New York City skyline, whales, dolphins, sharks, and rays.
It is built for guests who want a real working-waterfront outing: watch from indoor or outdoor seating, settle in near the shore, and follow the day’s wildlife rather than a staged itinerary.
