Point Lobos State Park

After four exciting and busy days working at Sea Otter, we decided to check out Point Lobos State Park before we head south to Santa Barbara.

If you walk into the park, they only ask for a donation, no required entrance fee. We left Delta in the car, because they don't allow dogs in the park.


There are dirt trails circling the park boundary, making it a great easy hike.
Completely beautiful place, like nothing back home! 




And right now the seals are having their pups and you can see the mama seals and their babies out in the water and lounging on the beach...so neat to see marine animals since we don't have them in Colorado! And we learned that the easiest way to tell seals apart from sea lions is to look and see if they have visible ear flaps. Seals do not, whereas sea lions do! 



They kind of look dead, but are just very relaxed ;)

This is also a great place for scuba diving, assuming you have a 7mm wetsuit, complete with hood and gloves. We didn't have time this trip, but want to dive/snorkel here next year!
