McVay Rock State Recreation Site

It was a total treat to see the sea lions chilaxin on the rock at McVay Rock State Recreation Site. Mak and I took the trail down to the beach and watched the big guys bask in the sun. I am loving my new zoom lens so I can get up close to nature.

The park is elevated above the ocean.  As you walk along the edge, you'll often have eye-to-eye encounters with the seabirds catching the updrafts from the beach.  A steep, rocky path leads to the beach.
