This week’s Rundown presented by The Club at Laguna del Mar
Sounds like a whole lot of folk are having a whale of time in Rocky Point these days! January has been filled with whale sightings just off our shores, and many local boat trip providers happy to add whale watching tours to their usual day-long, or sunset cruise opportunities. So, let’s add whale watching possibilities to this week’s Rundown!
This Weekend
