Ano Nuevo State Park

It's Elephant Seal pup time, here in California! From the end of December to the end of February.

During this season, you have to make reservations for the 90 minute tour out to the beaches where the seals are mating and whelping.

It was absolutely amazing! A phenomenal experience.

In the spring, for less than $10 you can take a guided tour to see the elephant seals, including the babies. (During this season you are not permitted to access this part of the beach without a guide).
