Om
Raske fakta: Et beskyttet marint reservat vrimler av over 5 000 kaliforniasjøløver og steinkobber som soler seg på steinene året rundt. Svømmere og snorklere deler vannet med knalloransje garibaldifisk, Californias delstatsfisk.
Høydepunkter: Takket være en utpeking som undervannspark i 1931 tiltrekker vikens tareskoger leopardhaier som glir like under overflaten fra juni til september. På en rolig morgen kan snorklere flyte over vann med 15 meters sikt og se rokker flagre forbi som undervannsfugler.
Insidertips
- 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.
