Whale Watching And Other Wildlife On Cape Cod

Wildlife is no stranger to Cape Cod. 

People from around the country come to Cape Cod just to get a once-in-a-lifetime look at the whales and seals that swim off the coast.

Stellwagen Bank is the place you’ll want to go to see glorious whales like the humpback, fin, and minke whale. Most whale watching tours to Stellwagen Bank leave from Provincetown, which is at the very tip of Cape Cod. Some commercial whale watching companies include:

• Portuguese Princes Whalewatches 
• Dolphin Fleet Whalewatches

If you’re more fascinated with seals, then the place to go is Chatham. Gray Seals are commonly seen on the Atlantic Ocean side of Chatham. They love to cruise the surf, or even sunbathe,  along Nauset Beach, South Beach and Monomy.  They are quite the spectacle on a Sunday afternoon – but always a crowd pleaser. These commercial touring companies offer  seal watching excursions:

• Chatham Water Tours
• Monomy Island Ferry
• Beachcomber

Cape Cod  is also a mecca for bird watchers too! Check out the Monomoy Wildlife Sanctuary in Chatham. It’s believed the sanctuary contains every species – all 285 – of bird and fowl ever recorded in New England environs. Scientists have also called Monomoy one of the most productive ornithological points on the Atlantic seaboard.

Wildlife watching is just one of the more fantastic things to do on Cape Cod.
