Sea Lions in Loreto Bay

Yes, it is possible to see sea lions in the Bay of Loreto, Baja California Sur, as the Bahía de Loreto National Park is home to the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus). Places such as La Lobera, located on the park’s islands, are specific spots where sea lions can be observed playing in their natural habitat, making the area an excellent viewing point for this species.

Ecological importance: Sea lions are considered sentinel species, as their health is an indicator of the overall health of the Sea of Cortez ecosystem, according to CONANP.
