The Sea Lions!!! by sverige
These lovable little animals are a joy to sit and watch. You can just go down on the waterfront (go around the fishing boats...they are looking for fresh handouts) & they are usually swimming around & laying in the sun, they love the attention. They are quite comical to watch when there are a bunch of them. You can also drive down the coast a bit, just north of Florence and see the Sea Lions caves. This is home to the largest amount of sea lions in the world. Although it is a fun place to go, they charge admission, and I think you get closer to them just watching them in Newport & it doesn't cost anything!!
