The whales are back at St. Vincent’s Beach, drawing consistent crowds to one of the more unique whale viewing areas in the province.
The shoreline drops off dramatically at St. Vincent’s Beach, allowing feeding whales to get within feet of spectators.
That’s also a concern for local residents who fear visitors may not know how steeply the beach drops off, and how unpredictable the waves and tide are.

Orla Moylan Hegarty of the St. Vincent’s St. Stephen’s Peter’s River Facebook group says the ocean is something to be respected.
“The ocean is very unpredictable” she says. “A lot of people who are visiting have never been around an ocean like this” says Moylan Hegarty, and she wants to make sure visitors understand the dangers while enjoying the local spectacle.
