The whale sanctuary of El Vizcaino is located on the Pacific coast of central Baja California. The coastal lagoons of Ojo de Liebre and San Ignacio are important reproduction and wintering sites for the grey whale, harbour seal, California sea lion, northern elephant-seal and blue whale. The ecosystems here are also important refuges for wintering wildfowl and a habitat for some 20 threatened animal species including four species of endangered marine turtle. The whale watching season is between late December and mid March and tours from La Paz offer the chance to see the 18 metre grey whale with its newborn offspring.
