While many
activities and events herald the new year, one
California favorite is Whale Watching. You can park your
car at the roadside vista along Highway 1 in Big Sur and
watch them, or board a boat to the Channel Island and
get views as part of your journey. Better yet, take a
whale watching tour to see the magnificent migrating
gray creatures in the Pacific Ocean. You normally don't
have to travel more than a few miles off coast to watch,
depending on their favorite spots.
Other events in
January that occur annually are localized games, fairs,
festivals and sports. Concerts, plays and theatre are
also quite popular. January is the perfect time to visit
California's museums ranging from a
surfing museum to
California trains. From The Getty to several
presidential libraries, the variety and collections are
world class. Enjoy California in January. It is
one of the best times to explore.
One thing to
consider, like all your travels, please do call first
before going. Some museums actually close their doors
for the winter in the mountain areas. Even the events
get cancelled from time to time and they forget to tell
us.
