Sea Lion Cave is home to a large breeding colony of Stellar sea lions. The visit involves a number of steps and a 208 feet elevator ride right down into the cave itself (while you're waiting, scan the sea below to see if you can spot a whale spouting). At one end of the cave are the sea lions, at the other is a superb view of the nearby Heceta Head Lighthouse. During spring and summer, the sea lions also sun themselves on the rocks outside the cave.
If you go:
The cave is open to visitors from 9.00 am every day of the year except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Ticket sales close at 4.00 pm.
