Where on the California Coast is This?

This is a gray whale skeleton on the Santa Cruz coastal bluffs around the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. A blue whale skeleton also runs the length of the center and requires three photo frames to capture it all.

My new favorite Monterey Bay sea creatures are the spiny lumpsucker fish—small puffy fish that create suction with their flattened bellies and stick themselves to rocky surfaces.
