Enjoy the sea air and take a wildlife break at Moss Landing State Beach. Turn right at Jetty Road and follow the road as it curves to the left between the Elkhorn Slough estuary and the sand dunes. As you'll reach the end, you'll see a parking lot on your left.
From this parking lot as you look toward Highway One, you'll have a great view of sea lions on the public pier (directly in front of you, next to the marina), seals (on the sand jetty to your left), pelicans (roosting on the rocks ahead and slightly to your right) and otters (cavorting in the water throughout the area). You're also likely to see herons, egrets, cormorants and other water birds.
