Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery in San Simeon, CA

A scenic, high-angle view of a sandy beach coastline with gentle waves rolling in. Several large elephant seals are resting on the sand near the water's edge and on small dunes. Seagulls are scattered across the beach. The camera pans slowly to the right, revealing more of the shoreline, a concrete drainage pipe, and a few distant observers on a cliff path. The weather is sunny with clear skies.
