In the winter, as the kelp beds they love are torn and pruned by storms, currents, and changing temperatures, Morro Bay’s female sea otters tuck inside the harbor’s south t-pier to nap and care for their pups. This location offers an unparalleled opportunity to observe sea otter maternal behavior and pups of many ages. It’s an opportunity that comes with great responsibility—help keep this a peaceful place for these moms and their pups by keeping your voice low, and resisting the desire to get closer than the Embarcadero sidewalk allows. Respect these hard working mothers!
