Description

Elephant seal colonies are a cacophony of sounds, smells and activity; join a ranger for a short program at Drakes Beach that will help you make sense of all that racket! This 15 to 20 minute program will explore the extreme lives of the northern elephant seals who haul out on Point Reyes' beaches each winter, and provide ample opportunities for seal viewing. Come prepared for the possibility of windy, cold and damp weather. Meet at the Kennneth C. Patrick Visitor Center. Typically offered January through March.

There's nothing quite like the experience of seeing elephant seals during their annual haul out!
