A large number of beaches in Channel Islands National Park make it an excellent spot for animals who are eager for the refreshing water, as well as copious amounts of lush vegetation on land. This park is home to the largest number of elephant seals, over fifty thousand during their breeding season in fact, which makes this national park in California one of the more sought-after animal sighting destinations. It is also a haven for several other types of seals, sea lions, and the great blue whale, which can even be viewed from this nearly 2,500 miles of coastline. There are also various caves around the area ideal for exploring for a day either in popular areas easy for self-exploration or guided tours, making for a fun way to spend an afternoon before or after fauna viewings. Ready to get cozy with alligators and crocodiles? Head to the next park!
