At the Sea Lion Caves, I took an elevator down to the world's largest sea cave, which is normally filled with sea lions. Unfortunately, the stormy ocean left only a few sea lions in the cave when I visited. At another nearby viewing point that normally features a couple hundred sea lions, one or two sea lions would occasionally jump onto the rocks before the rough ocean tossed them back in.
