Race Rocks Ecological Reserve

Race Rocks Nature Reserve has a large colony of Sea Lions and seals. It's a rare place where you can see both Stellar and California Sea Lions at once. Strong currents make it a tough dive, but the dive is worth it once you meet up with one underwater!

We went for a boat ride on a beautiful September morning and came across this beauty sunning on the rocks! There were plenty of Sea Lions lounging on the rocks and wharf of Race Rocks. #wildlife
