We will stop for lunch (on your own) at Davenport Roadhouse. After lunch we will continue to Año Nuevo State Park, the breeding grounds for the largest marine mammals in California. At Año Nuevo we reserved 15 spots on a Guided Elephant Seal Walk (12:40 PM) and 8 spots on an Equal Access Tour (1:00 PM). The Equal Access Tour is reserved for those visitors requiring mobility assistance.
