LilNik Posted August 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Is this worth taking a trip out there? I have 3 kids, 14, 8 and 7 and wondering if you actually see the sea lions. How's Lover's Beach, by the way? Is it a good beach for little ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's Lover's Beach, by the way? Is it a good beach for little ones? Not really a good choice for kids. They can't really play in the water because of all the water taxi activity near the shoreline. The other side (Divorce Beach) is on the Pacific Ocean and extremely dangerous (absolutely no swimming on that side). In addition, there are NO public services on the beach save for a vendor selling water/soda/beer out of a plastic cooler. It's nice to go out and see the arch, the sea lions, the beach and the other rock formations but stay in the boat. Take your kids over to Medano Beach afterwards. You can even go in the same water taxi after you've been to the arch. You will have to exit the boat in about 2 feet of water though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
househunter Posted August 6, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I agree! The 2nd picture above only shows 1 water taxi at Lover's Beach but usually there are a lot, even more than the 1st picture. Unless you go out really early when there is not much traffic I would also suggest going to Medano beach to actually be in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caro C Posted August 6, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Also be aware that at certain times of year (like right now) there are only a few sea lions here. The majority of them travel further up the Sea of Cortez to mate and give birth. There are just a few straglers here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that interesting tidbit.:) My DH has always loved sea lions and we will be there in September and again in April (although that may change to February). I take it the sea lions will be back in February? How about April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caro C Posted August 6, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Really the only times they leave the "rock" is around this time of year and just before a storm hits. The variety we have here are California Sea Lions. I am not 100% sure on why they don't stick around here to do their "game playing" but the timing seems to coincide with the shifts in currents which are occuring now. It is usually the males that take off during the winter and the females with all the adorable babies stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummyvites Posted August 6, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Are they around in late September? Or are they still off frolicking? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caro C Posted August 13, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Are they around in late September? Or are they still off frolicking? :o Jajaja. I don't think any play the game that long! They are already starting to come back. I spotted the sea lion that swims around the marina yesterday for the first time in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
