They use their flippers to throw sand on themselves to protect from the sun.

Elephant Seals
Just north of Hearst Castle, there is a colony of 10,000 elephant seals at Piedras Blancas lighthouse. This is unusual because they usually gather on rocks farther out at sea. These are on the beach and nearby rocks. They come here to have their babies and teach them before taking them out to sea. What fun to watch them and hear them bark!!!
