Elephant Seal Vista Point San Simeon, CA 93452 ☎ 805-924-1628 Last Updated: 10/23/2022 |
| At Elephant Seal Vista Point between mid-November through mid-January, the dominant bull elephant seals are returning, displacing the sub adult males who have been on the beach for weeks practicing their gladiator skills in hopes of competing against those giant bulls for the affection of the females. | |
| But, there is no contest. It is a battle where the sub adults see the 5,000 pound size of the mature adults and retire to another beach in short order. Then, the giant bulls begin the fight for the right to carve out their harem of females and begin the mating ritual. | |
