Despite the name, this wonderful spot is filled with seals and sea lions rather than many children! A great spot to go for a stroll and look out over the ocean and these magnificent creatures. An especially exciting time to visit is from May to July when it's pupping season and you get the chance to see the new additions to the seal and sea lion families!
