Piedras Blancas Light Station
The beaches near the Piedras Blancas lighthouse, north of San Simeon, California attract thousands of elephant seals.
There are accessible boardwalks from which you can see and photograph the seals. The site is governed by the Bureau of Land Management. There is no fee for parking and viewing the seals. Here are reviews from Yelp and Trip Advisor. Phone for Friends of the Elephant Seal 805-924-1628 Website
Thank you Cathy and Gordon Illg for the photograph!
