Name: Surat Bay can be quite a lengthy walk, and the sea lions tend to gather near the end. I've spotted seals here during various seasons. Just a heads-up: when you're walking over the sand dunes, keep an eye out because the seals like to venture up there.

Stunning location. Visited to take the walk to Jack's blowhole, which I highly recommend.
