A fun but loud and a bit smelly stop.

We found out about this place from Stan over at the beach when watching the elephant seals. He was so informative it was so wonderful the information that he shared with us. The shop was very nice, they had a variety of items and interesting facts too.

Such a lovely spot to see the seals up close in a natural environment. Really enjoyed our time here.

Cool place. The worlds largess mainland elephant seal rookery. November to February it’s packed with elephant seals, while the remainder of the year there are a handful around
