Come view northern elephant seals during their time onshore at Piedras Blancas. The viewing areas are located 90 miles south of Monterey, 5 miles north of Hearst Castle State Historical Monument in San Simeon, 1.5 miles south of Point Piedras Blancas. The viewing areas are open every day of the year, are wheelchair accessible, and free. No reservations required.
No one likes surprises, so we wanted to let you know that we will be updating our bluff fence this summer!
The good news? Our pools, hot tubs, firepits, rooftop terrace, and ocean views are all ready to enjoy — and of course…the beach never closes.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we refresh our oceanfront fence and paths for an even better guest experience.
