YOU’VE PROBABLY NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE!  Recently there have been numerous humpback whale sightings in local waters, as the whales feed while migrating through the area.  Stand up paddle boarder Nik Pattantyus has recorded some incredible footage of whales that he encountered while off the beach last week.  Take a few minutes and enjoy it!

There is amazing sea life in the waters just off our beaches!
