PMMC In Laguna Beach To Reopen After COVID-Related Closure

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — The Pacific Marine Mammal Center is opening its doors in Laguna Beach once again, after the winter surge of COVID-19 cases prompted local officials to close the center early mid-January.

On Tuesday, Orange County residents will be allowed to enter the Pacific Marine Mammal Center's visitor yard — and introduce themselves to the 20 California sea lions currently residing at the center.

Throughout the center's closure, the care of the animals at the center continued — as did the rescues from area beaches, rocky shoals and parking lots.

The Pacific Marine Mammal Center is located at 20612 Laguna Canyon Rd. To learn more about the center's visiting hours, contact 949-494-3050.
