This Beach is located just outside of San Simeon along the California Coast line on hwy 1... Elephant Seals have inhabited this beach and use it for breeding grounds to nurse their young, for molting, and mating. Its a great place and they are fascinating creatures to observe... You also get a treat from the squirrels coming to visit you but watch out they are very brave and have no fear of approaching right up to you and climbing up your leg! http://joshloyo.smugmug.com/California-Road-Trip-2009/Piedras-Blancas-Beach-San/IMG1348/582020961_vUbeK-Ti-1.jpg http://joshloyo.smugmug.com/gallery/8791607_ikBX4/ 2009-12-10T02:56:28Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
