    Tips

    At La Jolla Cove, you can spot the largest number of sea lions and seals along the San Diego coastline. Famous for these marine animals, the cove offers a chance to see them in their natural habitat. Both seals and sea lions are pinnipeds, meaning "fin-footed," but sea lions have elongated, mostly skin-covered flippers, while seals have smaller, clawed flippers. To protect the wildlife, it's important to stay in official viewing areas, as several sea lion pups have died due to human interaction.
