This is a touristy town, and this is one of the highlight tourist activities. You'll have to pay to enter, but if you have a meal at a restaurant or bar at the pebble beach properties they'll take that much off your meal. Make sure you see the lone cypress, and the seals. Just please, read the signs and don't feed the wildlife.
