Magdalena Bay just a little off the coast of Los Cabos is the best place to go whale watching for the mothers and their young. The best place to go to is Los Cabos than any other place in Baja or even the famous San Ignacio as there is a better chance of sighting the whales there especially during the last week of December to the last week of March.
