Very near encounter with seals & sea lions!

Wow, I didn't want to get that close to the sea lions! Tons of sea lions to see here. Please respect the wild life and give them some distance.

If you're all about sea lions and seals, this is your spot. You can see them swimming in the ocean, you can see them flopping across the rocks, they're to your left, they're to your right, they're at your feet, you can see them, smell them, hear them. They're literally so close you can touch them. So if you have kids, friends, family, coworkers, neighbors who love these creatures, send them here - you can't go wrong. My daughter says this was her favorite thing about California - ever.

great place to take either family pics or watch the seals

This place is pretty cool. You can get up close to seals, crabs and other marine life. Just remember to be respectful of the animals and mind your distance. Watch your footing, your youngin and pick up your trash. The place does smell of sea life and animal waste. Plus there were a ton of people out there.
