Those who were lucky enough to be at the beach early Saturday morning were witness to a spectacular sight. Dozens of Dolphins surrounded the entire surfline all morning jumping and splashing and riding waves. However, they were not just passing through as usual, they stayed in the area for several hours. It turns out that one of them was giving birth. It's not clear exactly where she had it but the mother and newborn were no more then 10 feet from shore just north of the point area at the morning high tide. The baby was only about 2 feet long and can be seen in the first photo. It appeared she was teaching it how to swim and breathe. All of the other Dolphins who were surrounding the area continued to jump and frolic. After several hours they all packed up and headed out to sea with baby doing just fine.
