During whale migration season from May to November, sections of the Middleton Beach shared path can become surprisingly good spots for spotting humpback and southern right whales moving through King George Sound. Sightings are most common along the more open coastal stretches closer to Middleton Beach and Ellen Cove, especially on calmer mornings when whales surface offshore beyond the bays and headlands. Bringing binoculars can make a big difference, as whales are often visible further out in the sound.
