Beach goers near Seattle experienced an incredible sighting last week when a pod of orcas began leaping out of the water just meters from the shore.
Alyssa Slovinac was visiting Golden Gardens Beach, in the state of Washington on February 24 when she was treated to an astonishing show that left onlookers ‘in awe’.
The video below shows one member of the orca pod breach clear out of the surface of the bay while another appears to wave with its massive fin.

“I was absolutely ecstatic,” said Alyssa.

“The environment on the beach was electric as everyone was so thrilled by such a close encounter.
