Panama City BeachAt this popular vacation destination in the north of Florida, you can catch a glimpse of wild dolphins swimming in the warm Gulf of Mexico waters. One of the most popular ways to view wild dolphins is by hiring a jet ski and a guide and heading out to known spots where the dolphins hang out.
Pushing people into deeper water, head-jerking, and biting causing broken bones, skin abrasions, and other injuries have all been reported with direct contact interactions with dolphins. Injuries–many inflicted by captive-bred dolphins–occur more commonly in interactive programs than is reported or widely known.
From late spring to the end of summer, female dolphins from other areas flock to Destin when mating season rolls around. As such, this time of year is perfect for dolphin watching.
