Ten (10) spots for an Elephant Seal Guided Walk have been reserved for our outing on Saturday, February 22, 2020. December 15 to March 31 is breeding season, so the elephant seals are hauled up on the beaches of Año Nuevo at this time, along with their pups.
Don't forget binoculars, camera, sunscreen, and water. As with any California coastal event, wear layers; it can be cold and windy. Food cannot be consumed during the walk (but there are picnic tables at the Marine Education Center for before or after).

12:45 p.m. - Gather at the Marine Education Center
