Exploring Elephant Seals

At Point Reyes National Seashore
Dress for wind and damp cold
Peak seal action January through March
Keep eyes peeled for deer and tule elk

Watch two-ton elephant seals battle, bellow, and lounge on Drakes Beach with a ranger as your guide. It's a front-row seat to one of California's wildest winter wildlife spectacles.
