Coastal Path Leading to Elephant Seal Beach

Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:37:03 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups

A sandy coastal path winds through sparse vegetation toward a wide beach scattered with dark shapes—elephant seals resting on the shore. A large piece of weathered driftwood anchors the foreground, with warning signs posted nearby. The scene captures the rugged beauty of California's coast, with calm waters stretching to distant hills under a partly cloudy sky. The natural pathway and protected wildlife area create a sense of remote wilderness despite the managed access.
