Sea Lions and Seals in California

At this state natural reserve, the sound of barking sea lions carries over rocky headlands and echoes in secluded inlets. A myriad of walking trails provides great access while harbor seals with spotted silver-grey coats can also be spotted.

What’s more, proud bulls and reclining females are on show year-round, so you won't miss out due to changing seasons.

In addition to the sea lions and seals, watch out for otters and whales, and below the surface, a delicate ecosystem of kelp and fish, best seen on a scuba dive – book ahead to secure your slot.
