Elephant Seals!

It's Time for Elephant Seals!
Winter 2024-Spring 2025
The greatest number of elephant seals stake a claim on beaches around the Point Reyes headlands from December through March for the birthing and mating season. Visitors may observe a colony of elephant seals from the Elephant Seal Overlook near Chimney Rock, above Drakes Bay, or from the South Beach Overlook a short distance north of the Point Reyes Lighthouse visitors' parking lot. The southwest Drakes Beach elephant seal population reaches over 600 by February!
