We enjoyed spending about 30 minutes walking around the cove admiring the sea lions and seals and the beautiful sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. It was busy, but we had no trouble finding parking…Full review by 907blaked

I have gone in the water (mostly body surfing near shore) in January and July and don't notice much difference. Cold. My son always uses a wetsuit, even in July.
