This season, pregnant females were deterred from giving birth in front of the visitor center, so no harem was established. In 20, due to winter storm events, seals gave birth directly in front of the visitor center. Seals can be viewed from The Elephant Seal Overlook and at the beach in front of the Kenneth Patrick Visitor Center.

Most breeding seals have left Point Reyes beaches, but that doesn’t mean that park visitors have missed out on amazing elephant seal viewing opportunities! Weaned pups will remain on beaches through April and a few sub-adult and adult males will remain into late March. DB1 numbers are declining and DB2 numbers are increasing.
