Ano Nuevo State Park: Guided Hike in Elephant Seal Viewing Area
Stroll over sand dunes, enjoy beautiful ocean views, and gain a unique opportunity to view Northern elephant seals on this 3-mile, 2.5-hour guided trail! Layered clothing, closed-toed shoes, and rain/wind gear are strongly advised. Bring water. Food, umbrellas, and strollers are not permitted inside the preserve.
Año Nuevo State Park offers docent-guided walks between December 15 and March 31, which feature the elephant seals in their natural habitat. To view the elephant seals during this season, you must be on a guided walk. Elephant seal viewing requires a 3-4 mile moderate hike over varied terrain, including sand dunes. The walks last about two and a half hours. They operate daily from early morning to mid afternoon.
Through the spring and summer, you will still see elephant seals in smaller numbers and may do a self guided tour if you reserve it ahead of time.
No pets are allowed in the park. The vehicle day-use fee is $10. For more information, please call 650.879.2025. Reservations are made through www.reservecalifornia.com.
