A magnificent treat for anyone traveling north of San Simeon on HWY 1 is the elephant seal refuge! These humongous animals rest on the beach along the highway, viewed by thousands and educated by volunteer docents. After enjoying these amazing sea mammals, I walked north on Boucher Trail to and beyond the Piedras Blancas lighthouse. What a wonderful day!
San Simeon
I love the expression on this seal’s face!
Crazy wild waves!
