California State Parks

Año Nuevo State Natural Reserve

Located within San Mateo County California, the 4,000 acre Año Nuevo State Reservation is the site of the largest mainland breeding colony in the world for the northern elephant seal. A low, rocky, windswept point which juts out into the Pacific Ocean, Año Nuevo SR sits just 5 miles south of San Francisco and the Golden Gate. Offering a Visitor Center with bookstore, restrooms, drinking water and picnic area, Año Nuevo State Reservation remains undeveloped.
Visitors hoping to see the seals during the winter breeding season are urged to get their reservations early. Daily access to the reserve is available via guided walks only.

The 3 mile (round trip) Año Nuevo Trail is available as a guided walk and require about 2-5 hours. Advanced reservations for the guided walks are strongly recommended.

Año Nuevo State Reservation is located just west of Highway 1, twenty two miles north of Santa Cruz and 30 miles south of Half Moon Bay.
