The rather awkward-looking elephant seal has become an icon of thee San Luis Obispo County coastline. Despite its amusing appearance, its sheer size makes it an amazing and slightly unnerving animal to view up close (which you can). There's a huge rookery some 12 miles north of Cambria at Piedras Blancas, where the number of animals peaks in late January (mothers with babies!), late April, and late October.

A must visit. Up the road from Hearst Castle entrance. A beautiful sight...could spend an entire day just watching the seals. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The Elephant Seals are amazing. Huge, lazy and fun to watch. Somehow, as they move up and down the beach, they seem almost graceful. The docent was knowledgeable and pleasant. ... more on Yahoo! Travel
