Thinking I might need binoculars and luck, I was happily surprised hundreds of full grown elephant seals, birthing, resting, nursing, flipping sand, fighting, mating, right there on the beach below...

We stopped here on the way to our motel in San Simeon and saw a small group of molting elephant seals. It was a welcome rest and an interesting and unusual sight. But honestly, unless you live...

If seals are what you’re looking for, this is the place for you: seals for as long a the eye can see (and then some, be careful where you step!) and boy! are these things humongous, let me tell you

Oh my God, words do not describe the beauty, and majestic nature of this beach and the elephant seals. Incredible creatures, much bigger than I ever expected. Lots of action always going on with these creatures. And the drive to get here is incredibly scenic, jaw dropping, worth it. You won't see anything like it.

Its really cool to see the beauty and majesty of nature up close and spitting in your face!!!
-
Wonderful wildlife here. A lot of it looks pretty lazy, but some of it flies!
-
Nice place to visit, free entrance and parking.
