Tidepools at the Lost Whale Inn

Just travel down the trail, take the rope at the bottom (!) and you will be in an enchanted land of dueling starfish, sunfish, octopi, urchins, sea anemones, sea snails, crabs and some creatures we just don’t know the names of! 

June through July and January through March are optimum times to view the baby sea lions. The rookery here is one of the few on the Pacific Coast of North America. But beware of sea lion mothers who can be protective and never get between a mother and her baby. Babies are born in December and then again in May and are quiet curious about the two-legged denizens of the Inn on the bluffs above.

Explore the tidepools at the Lost Whale Inn's own private beach. It is a lovely journey to get there, a short walk from your room!
