Plan for strong wildlife smell
The smell from sea lions and birds is immediate and noticeable, though several parents said it faded quickly.
Parking requires flexibility
Free street parking exists but is hard to find, especially on weekends; paid garages nearby cost $10 to $25.
Enforce distance from wildlife
Sea lions will bark, bite, or charge if approached too closely; lifeguards constantly remind visitors to stay back.
Arrive early to avoid crowds
One visitor found the area nearly empty from 6:20am to 7:30am, then it got busy and parking became.
Excellent for young sea lion watchers
Children can see seals and sea lions lounging and swimming just meters away, with minimal effort or long hikes.
