Josh Mccue was at 1080 Beach on Sunday afternoon when he spotted the whales, then raced to Tilba Beach east of Central Tilba to capture them on film.
“I’ve seen southern rights before, but not like that,” he said.
There were two adults and one calf or juvenile splashing around off the beach. In the video, one of the adults keeps rubbing his flipper over the other’s back and head.
When asked what he thought the two whales were up to, Mr Mccue said it was probably a question better left for the whale experts.
“But he’s very cuddly, I’ll put it that way!” he said.
Mr Mccue uploaded the video to the Bermi Bait & Tackle Facebook page, saying he often uses a drone to record footage for the shop. To view the film, visit www.begadistrictnews.com.au.
