What time of day do dolphins strand feed?

What to do if a dolphin swims up to you?

If a dolphin approaches you in the water, do not engage, pursue, or otherwise interact with the dolphin, and take immediate steps to move away.

Dolphins can be awake throughout a 24-hour day, but are most active during daylight hours and their activity declines at night. They are most active in the morning, and then their levels of activity drop off throughout the day until it reaches their lowest point at night.
