These sea lions return year after year. Apparently it began back in the early 1900's. There are many speculations as to why they come here. It is mostly due to the fact that their main predators - Great White Sharks and Orca Whales - do not come into the bay. Some think that they don't come in because of the salinity of the water. There is plenty of food here for the sea lions and there are often between 100 and 500, with 1000 being the most seen. If they are not at the wharf, then they are likely south for mating season.
