Dolphins can be seen most often at dawn between 10 am and noon and 2 pm until dusk. It is worth investing in a pair binoculars or great telephoto lenses to help you spot dolphins.
They can be seen in the waters off our beaches, including South Walton Beach Miramar Beach, Inlet Beach or Inlet Beach. Between May and August, the females will be closer to the shoreline in search of mates. Although dolphins are friendly, touching them is prohibited.
