Weekends and holidays, January 1, 2010, through April 24, 2010, weather permitting. Volunteer docents will be stationed at the Lighthouse Observation Deck from 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to answer questions about gray whales. Visitors will be able to view gray whales through park-provided binoculars and scopes. IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the high volume of traffic out to the Lighthouse and Chimney Rock areas during the gray whale migration, the park will be operating a shuttle bus system from the Drakes Beach parking lot (usually from New Year's weekend to Easter each year on weekends and holidays weather permitting). Sir Francis Drake Boulevard from South Beach to the Lighthouse and Chimney Rock areas WILL BE CLOSED during shuttle operating hours.
