Elephant Seal & Moonstone Beach: San Simeon, California
Travel With Us and Explore: Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery & Moonstone Beach: San Simeon, California.
*Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery. The elephant seals that own this stretch of coastline are Northern Elephant Seals. These gigantic creatures are actually the second largest seals in existence. An adult male may reach a length of 14 to 16 feet and weigh between 3,000 to 5,000 pounds; an adult female is typically 9 to 12 feet in length and can weigh up to 1,800 pounds; and a young adult is only about 3 to 4 feet in length and weighs 60 to 80 pounds.
Elephant seals are long-distance, deep-sea travelers. They typically spend 8 to 10 months a year in the open ocean, can dive down 1,000 to 5,800 feet for periods of up to two hours, and migrate thousands of miles, twice a year, to a land-based rookery like the one you’ll see here.
*Moonstone Beach is considered one of the Central Coast’s best beaches, Moonstone Beach is an ethereal outpost where waves meet a shoreline perfect for beach combing. The settlers of Cambria gave this beach its name for its smooth stones that are soft underfoot, and which wow visitors with their intricate patterns.
