It’s best see it in person but we have the next best thing…
360º Panorama
Our outdoor Observation Deck at the top offers great ocean views. Often you can see the sea lions down below enjoying themselves — swimming, sunning on the rocks or climbing in and out of the water. You’ll likely see a great number of birds. You may even see a whale or two!
We do recommend bringing binoculars to get the best views.
