The Pelicans at Pismo Beach


The Pacific Ocean is teeming with wildlife near Pismo Beach, CA. We watched the Elephant Seals and Pelicans fight for space on the rocks and the very active fishing patrols of the cormorants. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a larger community of pelicans in one place. They seem to be nesting everywhere they can, from vertical cliff walls to the roofs of houses.
