Don't Forget the Elephant Seals!


A spot of beach about 3 miles up the coast from Hearst Castle is a favorite hangout for Elephant seals. We went and watched them sunning themselves on the beach.


The elepahant seals flip sand on their back as a form of sun screen. The pup next to this female is a few days old.



Here is some of the crew as we were waiting for a female to give birth. See video below.
