A rare and beautiful site also comes with a warning for boaters in South Florida as an endangered right whale and its calf were spotted multiple times on the Florida coastline.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has an announcement for boaters after an endangered right whale and its calf were spotted on more than one occasion right here on the Florida coastline.

Through WPTV, the FWC is urging boaters, paddle boarders, or any beachgoers to "keep a safe distance as not to disturb the mother and calf as this is critical nursing and bonding time for them."

Boaters should also be sure to keep a close eye out for the whales and watch your speed.

One video was captured by James McGrath from Waterfront Properties, which shows the mother and her calf off the coast of Singer Island.

Another video was recorded by Joel Cohen from the Marine Resources Council. His video shows another angle of the whales just off the beach near Jupiter Island.

If you spot the whales you should always report the sighting by calling 1-877-WHALE-HELP or for boaters, to the US Coast Guard on VHF Ch. 16.
