"They are not seals. they are sea lions. lots of them. noisy. It's not really a Hiking trail it is merely places along fisherman's wharf in Monterey."
"Seals! You guest it. If you want to see seals, this is the place! An observation center. Great view. Seals in their natural habitat. Highly recommended"
"The seals have a great time sunbathing at their beach!"
"There are many pups here to glimpse at a distance. Its fascinating to know that once born these babies are left to fend for themselves. The naturalist we spoke to said roughly 50% will survive to adulthood. Aquarium end of beach is where they will be seen. Be mindful that they are very sensitive to noise and other distractions so view quietly as not to stress the babies."
"Pretty cool to see the seals laying on the beach. We went Tuesday afternoon around 3 pm and there were kind volunteer guides lending binoculars and ready to answer any questions we had about the seals! We parked on one of the streets."
