Whale Sighting in Kitty Hawk

A Whale of a Time in Kitty Hawk!

It is a rare sight to see two whales splashing around just off the shore south of the Kitty Hawk Pier in Kitty Hawk, NC. Local residents having lived in Kitty Hawk for 30 plus years claim that they have never before seen a whale so close to shore.

These whales must have been showing off (or exhibiting mating rituals) because they were jumping entirely out of the water and crashing into the water as you would expect to see at Sea World. Their fins were flapping as they slowly swam off to sea, as if they just came by to say hello!

It is hard to say how large or what type of whales we saw but it was surely something none of us watching will ever forget.
