Monterey Bay’s tide pools and sandy shores are truly magnificent, featuring an abundance of seabirds, shorebirds, invertebrates, and more. These are just a few of the wonderful animals that inhabit this area.
Keep in mind that most of my wildlife photos are taken with a telephoto lens, and you should never approach a wild animal (for their safety and for yours)!
