Ról ről
Gyors tények: A protected marine reserve teems with 5,000+ California sea lions and harbor seals lounging on the rocks year-round. Swimmers and snorkelers share the water with bright orange Garibaldi fish, the California state marine fish.
Főbb látnivalók: Thanks to a 1931 underwater park designation, the cove's kelp forests attract leopard sharks that glide just below the surface from June through September. On a calm morning, snorkelers can float over 50-foot visibility waters watching bat rays flap past like underwater birds.
Bennfentes tippek
- Skip the main beach on weekends, head to the south end of the cove for quieter water access.
- Wear water shoes, the rocks are sharp and the sandy area is small.
- Best photos come from the cliff-top path at the Ellen Browning Scripps Park overlook, especially during golden hour.
- Look for the sea lion nursery at the far left end of the beach, mothers and pups stay there from May through August.
