Elephant seals, those molty, marvelous, ocean-traversing icons, are major; now they are getting their deserved due in LBC.
Crafts, the chance to purchase a cocktail at the cash bar, and live music will follow the presentation. The spot? The beautiful Pacific Visions Art Gallery, a stunning space that is definitely worth barking over.
Truth time: We don't know if we love the marine mammal's distinctive bark as much as the prominent, trunk-like proboscis seen on adult males, but we are committed to ardently admiring both. From afar, of course: If you ever do visit Piedras Blancas, you'll want to stay on the designated platform while viewing the sandy action below, where sizable swaths of elephant seals may be found snoozing, parenting, squabbling, molting, and doing all of the remarkable things an elephant seal so winningly does.
If you want to burnish your knowledge on some seal-y cool facts, get your $5 in advance. Tickets are $10 at the door, but space is limited and spots may sell out.
