A few 30A-lovers might recall the 1964 TV series that featured the famous bottle-nosed dolphin Flipper. Who wouldn’t love to see a Flipper? That Technicolor-inspired dream could become a reality in the waters and along Scenic Highway 30A’s coastline. Here’s what you need to know if you’re interested in going on a dolphin cruise.

The presence of Flipper’s friends is a constant reminder that the Northwest Florida coast vibrates almost all year.

Dolphins can be found in bays, tidal lake, and open ocean beaches that have water depths of at least 8-10 feet. However, they are often seen here chasing mullet through the bay and Gulf waters which are 2 feet or less.

These geophysical spots are common along the scenic stretch of South Walton, from Miramar Beach up to Inlet Beach and all other places in-between.

Dolphin Cruise Tips

The warm-water environment that dolphins love is what accounts for their large population year round along Northwest Florida’s coast. The region is dominated by males, but the females do visit the area seasonally to mate (between May-August), which increases both the population and the chance of seeing them.

Because studies have shown that feeding dolphins, especially in close proximity to humans, can cause serious damage to their ability to live in wild habitats, these fines work.

You can often hear them giving their characteristic “whistles”, or performing “aquatic-acrobatic turns” and “whistles”.
