Report Details
There is an overlook between Sea Lion Caves and north to the tunnel where a number of cars can park and look north to see Heceta Head Lighthouse. Today about 12:30 pm we saw thousands of California Sea Lions on the remote beach and water below. Unbelievable number of sea lions!!! From what I understand, only the male California Sea Lions come up the coast. They leave the females and pups in California. There may be some Stellar Sea Lions in this bunch (they are the ones that like Sea Lion Caves) but it is hard to tell there are sooooo many animals!!!Tried to upload more photos but had trouble and they did not upload.

It was a very comfortable Saturday morning low tide.

It was a minus tide, and it allowed me to observe the invertebrates living on the "off-shore" rocks.
