Where

Ano Nuevo State Reserve

Cost

$7 / Free for children 3 and under

Hunted to the brink of extinction at the turn of the 20th century, the northern elephant seal has made a strong comeback in the past 100 years, thanks in part to both government restrictions on hunting and their own secluded, deep-sea lifestyle.

For just a few months each year, these unique creatures come ashore, returning to various spots along the California coast to compete, mate, and give birth. It's a powerful ecological pageant that only plays out from mid-December through March/April.

If You Go

Stay overnight at the Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel, 7 miles from Ano Nuevo.

Please Note

Parking fees apply ($7 / $6 for seniors 62 and over).
