Sea Lions at Pier 39 in San Francisco



Our beloved sea lions have been wandering back to K-dock at Pier 39 over the past few months. They mysteriously disappeared for a while, rumored to have "vacationed" up in Oregon and are now coming back home where they belong. There are about a third of them who migrated back in order to entertain the tourists and locals alike. I hadn't been to the Pier in a while but found myself in that area last week so I thought I'd check out our friends on K-dock. They are still barking away and drawing the tourists like ants to honey. For more information on them visit: http://www.pier39.com/Attractions/index.htm

Once on that page you can scroll down to the Seal Lions link on the sidebar to learn more.

It must be a pleasure watching these lovely creatures. Never seen a sea lion myself.

They look a bit tired. Oh they just take their time relaxing ?!

Thank you.

oh, good to hear about that Jo, somehow, when I think of Pier 39, the sea lions come to mind first.

I can see how they could attract a crowd. That would be amazing to see. Glad they returned to where they belong :)

Maybe they were visiting their cousins at Sea Lions' Cave on the central OR coast. Great shots of these beautiful creatures.
