California Sea Lions at Casa Verde Beach in Monterey

August 24, 2014 / Erica S. / Leave a comment

I see California sea lions swimming in the waves like this all the time.  The Monterey Bay is so full of life!   I love it.  I also see harbor seals, sea otters and dolphins on a daily basis.  In the past month, I’ve seen dozens of humpback whales off Point Lobos too!

These guys were so funny.  Every few seconds one would kick another, who would wake up long enough to bark and growl before laying his head down to go back to sleep.

A little sea otter made an appearance as well.  They aren’t usually on these platforms along the pier.
