Alpacas By The Sea

At Alpacas By The Sea, we've dedicated ourselves to the nurturing and sharing of alpacas since 1992. Situated just south of San Francisco, alongside the stunning Highway 1, our ranch offers a cornerstone for alpaca enthusiasts. We manage a considerable herd and invite visitors to experience the rewarding alpaca lifestyle. Our educational seminars are designed to equip our guests with essential knowledge. Moreover, our expertise extends to breeding techniques and screening criteria, honed through collaboration with world-renowned alpaca experts. This shared knowledge enriches the alpaca community, fostering success for others who seek a similar path.

Specializing in alpaca judging, we pride ourselves on being a pivotal source of education concerning all things alpaca. As one of the pioneering ranches in California, we've hosted numerous workshops aimed at expanding the collective understanding and enjoyment of the alpaca lifestyle. We revel in the joys that accompany working with these gentle creatures.

Our ranch is home to both the Huacaya and Suri alpacas, offering remarkable quality and value. With a commitment to excellence, we aim to deliver the best possible experience for all our visitors. Ken Hibbits, an AOA certified judge, and Victoria, an experienced phenotypic screener, have enriched their knowledge through direct interactions with breeders in Peru.

Our extensive experience of over 30 years allows us to help others realize their alpaca dreams. Whether you're developing your own herd or simply intrigued by these fascinating animals, we offer our seasoned expertise in support of your journey. Our commitment to quality, consultative support, and enjoyment ensures an unparalleled alpaca experience. Visitors can come by appointment to meet our charming alpacas.
