Sea Lions (Winter Herd), Sea Lion Caves
Additional Details:
| On the Oregon Coast Highway about mid-way between Seaside and Crescent City (18 miles north of Florence) is the winter quarters of many hundreds of sea lions. The land entrance, reached by an enclosed spiral stairway, affords a splendid view of the immense caves. A deep ocean channel permits entrance of sea lions for shelter at all times. This entrance and a natural archway from the south give ample light for day time observation. The high rock walls, and ceiling loudly echo the bellowing of the noisy sea lion bulls. |
