On the road to Cape Palliser Lighthouse, there is a stretch of coast where you can see lots of New Zealand fur seals chilling on the rocks. You cannot miss it, they are literally everywhere. Just pull over in one of the gravel bays and walk toward the shore.

The seals are super cute, especially the pups playing in the little pools, but keep your distance because they can get grumpy fast.
