Great. Parking is challenging but just circle a lot and you will find. Seals and sea lions are fun to see. I rented a snorkel and wetsuit which was very cool to swim with the seals. Full review by jaymesl2016

Seal pups in June. Or maybe they are sea lions. I don’t know, but they are very cute. This is the first time I have seen the pups there. It is so scenic and fun to walk the whole area. Full review by Cr1717
