Join Año Nuevo Reserve Director, Patrick Robinson, and sanctuary naturalists for a special, in-depth experience of Año Nuevo State Park’s famous elephant seal colony. We’ll start with an exclusive glimpse into the latest discoveries about the elephant seals in our sanctuaries. Then we’ll embark on a walk to observe them firsthand. Año Nuevo is one of the largest mainland breeding colonies of northern elephant seals in the world! Every year up to 10,000 elephant seals visit to breed, give birth, and molt. Watch males battle for prime beach real estate and the right to mate, while females birth and suckle their newborn pups. Learn about the fascinating natural history, behavior and ecology of northern elephant seals while observing them during this fun and dynamic walk!
