The name of the beach isn’t seal beach. I have seen a few names for it including the San Simeon Seal Rookery and Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery. It is something to see, according to the literature that I picked up, it is home to over 25,000 elephant seals. The have built a walkway above the beach which allows people to watch and view the the seals basking on the beach.
They are entertaining to watch, they like to lie close to each other but one seal will get fussy which disturbs other seals. It seems like they spend a lot of time lying there and then adjusting and readjusting. We had visited this beach the last time we were here in the fall and we could clearly see that the seals were molting.
We also spotted some very friend squirrels, especially the baby squirrels. They were cute and very friendly, only to realize that everyone was feeding them whatever snacks they had in their car.
