New Jersey Kayaking

Seals & Dolphins

Harbor Seal

Harbor seals are not uncommon in the winter, but kayaking is, so don't expect to encounter them when you are out for a paddle.

Common Dolphin

On the other hand, the Common Dolphin prefers warmer weather, and can be seen all through kayaking season. They go south for the winter.

My preferred launch point is on the river behind the little strip mall off Route 527 / Old Matawan Rd. I have never had a problem parking here, although I don't think this would be a good place for a large group to show up. Entry can be messy if the water is low. I wouldn't wear white. The launch site is pretty muddy at low tide, try to hit this spot when there is plenty of water.
