Historically, California sea lions have always been observed on Seal Rock, North of Ocean Beach, below the Cliff House Restaurant in San Francisco. In September 1989 the first sea lions appeared on 'K' dock at Pier 39. By mid-January 1990, there were about 150 sea lions at PIER 39. As the number of sea lions at PIER 39 increased, the number at Seal Rock decreased. Spring and summer saw fewer sea lions as they migrated south to their breeding grounds. Returning in ever increasing numbers over the years until their numbers were well over 1, 000. Suddenly, at the end of November 2009 the sea lions all took off leaving the residents of Pier 39 wondering where they had gone and if they were ever going to return.
