Actually, before i did not see them too, it was my sister in law visting from Chicago that shouted, "OMG, Dolphins!" and I was like, "where? where?" She had a hard time explaining to me where they were, and starting that time, I think my eyes were used to finding them. Sometimes, they're close enough to the shore and playful, especially when there are not a lot of beachgoers in the water. thanks a lot, everyone.

The dolphins, it seems like they are always there, sometimes though, they're too far for pictures, and sometimes they're too close to the shore like riding and playing with the waves towards the shore, but since I don't bring my camera often, I usually miss those times where they are more playful playing closer to the shore. The pictures above, the dolphins are not playful, just swimming. I once swam or boggie board so close to them, it was a very special experience.
