2007 26th Annual Sand Sculpture Contest
2007 Sand Sculpture Contest: Family Group 1st Place: Entry #32: The Little Engine That Could, by Jones/Schiltgen Family
Family Group 1st Place Winner: The Little Engine That Could, by Jones/Schiltgen Family
 

The 26th Annual Sand Sculpture Contest at Drakes Beach was once again well attended with 65 sculptures entered. Thousands of participants and observers showed up to enjoy a warm, sunny day. Unfortunately, a very high tide occurred at 3 p.m., quickly washing away many of the sculptures.

Elephant seals at the main colony at Point Reyes  

Did You Know?
Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) began breeding at Point Reyes in 1981 after being absent for over 150 years. The population breeds at terrestrial haul out sites at Point Reyes Headland, one of only eleven mainland breeding areas for northern elephant seals in the world.
