A whale-watching group is bringing people together in Pacifica.

Pacifica Whalespotting, a Facebook group that started in June 2021, has seen its popularity explode in recent weeks as whales feed in big numbers off the San Mateo County coast. "I was joking on my page that I'm sorry for creating so many addicts," group founder Robin Brun said.

To view the group's page, search for "Pacifica Whalespotting" on Facebook.

We walk through why the whales are here, the group's origin and how the community has taken shape. Read the full story — link in bio.
