La Lobera, Natural sinkhole along Pacific coast in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
A collapsed cave ceiling formed a circular crater overlooking the Pacific Ocean, creating a sheltered beach area for seals and marine life.
The geological formation emerged over centuries through natural erosion processes, establishing a permanent sanctuary for harbor seals near San Quintín.
Local conservation efforts maintain this natural refuge where visitors observe harbor seals in their environment without disrupting their natural behaviors.
Access requires a 3-mile drive on dirt roads from Highway Mexico 1 at Kilometer 47.5, with four-wheel drive vehicles recommended during wet conditions.
The site includes an abalone farm adjacent to the natural formation, combining marine cultivation with wildlife observation opportunities.
