Very nice welcome by the sea lions at the entrance to Fisherman's wharf

The sea lions are so close. It's a nice way to experience wildlife. They are smelly, but having the opportunity to watch them on their natural environment make it worthy.

Sea lions out in force today, barking up a storm. Added a video.

Really good place to see sea lions pretty up close. We learned that at this time of the year (July) all the sea lions are males and that the females are all down south with their pups. Good place to experience sea lions in their natural habitat.

It's always a pleasure to be able to see wildlife in their habitats. The sea lions can be so animated and keep your attention!

Heard about seals invading fisherman's wharf Monterey so we had to see for ourselves. We weren't disappointed!

At around noon, you see that there were maybe 30 sea lions @ the entrance of the wharf lounging in the sun.

But by 8:30 the same evening, "there were over 100 plus!" Now I know where all the sea lions went from fisherman's wharf San Francisco!

There is no barrier separating us from these sea lions other than large rocks! Tourists were literally 5 feet away! Of course sooner or later someone will do something stupid and ruin this once in a lifetime opportunity to see these wonderful mammals up close by putting a distant barrier!

Come and enjoy these magnificent animals up close while you can! Worth the trip!

Great spot to view the sea lions. Better view than Pier 39 San Francisco.
