Sea Lion Point Trail Details

If you want to see the amazing landscapes of Point Lobos but do not have time to trek the entire park, then this short .4-mile walk is for you. The trail leads directly to a viewpoint where you can see seals, sea lions, and elephant seals playing in the ocean or bathing on the rocks. Unfortunately, you will not get the full impact of Point Lobos as the trail skips most of the coastal views. But it is still a great option for kids or those with limited mobility.
