This past week, several whale sharks have been spotted hanging around the Destin, Florida area. This video was taken by Cory Kauffman on Sunday, July 16, approximately 5 miles from the Destin Pass.
- Kauffman told Get The Coast that the whale shark hung out on the surface for about 10 minutes.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen whale sharks in the area. In October 2020, two whale sharks and a manta ray were spotted offshore near Destin when Alex Fogg, Coastal Resource Manager for Okaloosa County, was diving.
