2. See the California Lions

You can spot the California sea lions swimming in the marine, on the rocks, or in the kelp beds. They’re very social creatures, often staying in large groups. You’ll be able to hear them before you see them since they have loud barking calls.

Feel free to take a picture of them but make sure that you’re a good distance from them.
