One afternoon we went to the Laguna Point Seal Watch, only a .3 mile stroll via the boardwalk. At various points there were turnouts with interpretive signs about the following:
*The San Andreas Fault is only 10 miles off shore.
*Inter-tidal pools have a kaleidoscope of colorful sea anemones, sea stars (not star fish), bat stars, California mussels and Gooseneck Barnacles when the tide goes out.
*Harbor Seals are the “Big Attraction” where they lounge on the ocean-sprayed rocks and occasionally deign to flip into the churning surf for a brief swim.
