Earlier this week, a lone bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) swam so close to the beach just south of the Pier, it surprised a nearby dog who turned quickly to view the animal.
These beautiful marine mammals can be seen year-round at Jennette’s as they jump and play in the surf!
Our visitors often get to see dolphins show off when they’re strolling the 1,000-foot-long concrete pier. Dolphins travel together in groups known as pods. Their range runs from New York south to Mexico including the Caribbean.
They breathe air through their blow holes on top of their head and appear to always have a smile on their bottle-shaped beaks filled with conical teeth.
