The period during which whales are most frequently observed in the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas is commonly referred to as whale season in Cabo. This timeframe is defined by the migratory patterns of various whale species, particularly gray whales and humpback whales, as they travel to the warmer waters of the Baja California peninsula for breeding and calving.
The annual whale migration to Cabo provides significant economic benefits to the region through tourism. Whale watching tours generate revenue for local businesses, supporting jobs in the hospitality and marine industries. The consistent return of these marine mammals each year underscores the importance of conservation efforts to protect their habitat and migration routes. Historically, the area has been a vital breeding ground for these species.
