We are fortunate to live close to some wonderful coastal environments, and we spent the first few days of 2020 enjoying the sights along the southern portion of California’s Central Coast.
From North to South, here were our highlights:
San Simeon / Piedras Blancas – Elephant seals. This free, right-off-the-road site is magical all year round, but particularly in early winter. In early January, we saw males posturing and beginning to fight each other to claim or protect their harems. Males can reach 16 feet in length and weigh up to 5000 pounds!
Great photographs.
As beautiful and interesting as anywhere in North America, yet only a few hours from home.
Very cool.
