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.
