Websites I Like:
Animal Spotting from Point Reyes to Pismo Beach
From December to March, enjoy 10 stops and more than 300 miles of Northern California coastline spotting animals as little as Monarch Butterflies and as big as gray whales.

You may be able to watch gray whales strolling by. Bring binoculars and try to look for the spout.

You will find the seals laying on the docks by Pier 39, a little less than usual at this time of a year but it is always a treat to see them in a city environment.

"A tourist trap but a nice one"
There are so many things to do at the Fisherman's wharf between listening to the Sea Lions, discover Pier 30, take a ferry to Alcatraz or another city on the Bay, museums, aquarium, food,etc etc. And street performers of course...Of course it is a tourist trap but it is a nice one where you will not discover the real San Francisco for sure but your family will have a good time!

Use their online tide guideline to see when it is the best time to observe nature and discover the elements at zero or negative low tide.

This is breeding season and it will last till the end of March. Elephant seals will come on shore to give birth and begin the raising of their youngs.

Santa Cruz, California

You will see thousands of monarch butterflies, taking a rest in their long journey. This is also the ideal place to observe birds, whales, seals and otters. Starfish, crabs, anemones can be seen at low tide.

Monterey, California

True, you will not see the animals in their natural habitat, but visiting this fantastic aquarium will help you to better understand life under and above the sea.

"Interesting and fun"
It is hard to pick that we liked best: the jellyfish, the otters (do not miss the feeding!), the sharks, the eels (ugly but fascinating to watch) or the divers cleaning the windows!!!!One of the places in the Bay Area that you do not want to miss. The whole family will have a nice time.
Point Lobos State Reserve
Carmel, California
Comment:

You will see migrating whale from December to March as well as seals, sea lions, sea otters as well as birds.

"Beautiful hikes"
You can never get enough of Point Lobos. The views are splendid. Between the ocean and the mountains, every member of the family will be able to find their favorite corner of paradise. I agree with the precedent review about the poison oak, be careful.
Embarcadero
Morro Bay, California

This is the place to be if you want to observe birds, more than 200 species can be spotted. Do not miss their bird festival held in January.

Find the butterflies trees and observe thousands of butterflies resting on the eucalyptus and pine trees. The trees are half a mile south of Pismo Beach just off Hwy 1.
