Pacific Coast Highway Elephant Seals Rookery

📍 San Simeon, California

You round the bend and your eyes widen at the sight of blubbery creatures basking in the sun. Their goofy antics and sheer size are more than enough reason to pull over and snap some photos.

While people flock to see sea lions, fewer venture to the Elephant Seals Rookery—a spectacular viewing area where you can see these massive creatures lounging on the beach. The comical sight of these sleepy giants makes for a memorable stop.

Explorer Tip

Visit during the annual breeding season for the best views.
