A large number of beaches in this national park make it an excellent spot for animals who are eager for the refreshing water as well as lush and copious amounts of vegetation on land. This is home to the largest number of elephant seals, over fifty thousand during their breeding season which makes the Channel Islands National Park in California one of the more sought-after animal sighting destinations to seek out. It is also home to several other types of seals, as well as sea lions and the great blue whale can even be viewed from this nearly two thousand five hundred miles of coastline. There are also various caves around which are ideal for exploring for a day either in popular areas easy for self-exploration or guided tours making for a fun way to spend an afternoon before or after fauna viewings.
