NASSAU COUNTY, N.Y. (PIX11) – An unexpected visitor has been spotted off the South Shore of Long Island this week.

Video captured an approximately 25-foot-long humpback whale in the water near Jones Beach.

The whale has been swimming in Sloop Channel for several days but appears to be both happy and healthy, according to the Town of Hempstead.

Experts believe the whale may have been attracted to the abundance of fish in the bay due to the recent warm weather.

In the meantime, local marine officials are urging boaters to watch their speed in the bay and surrounding waterways until the whale safely returns to the open sea.
