Report Details
A seal pup hauled out at high tide on the southern segment of Mile 102 at the base of the first rocks on the South Jetty stretch. It was about 5:45 a.m. so there was no one around to hassle the little critter. This could be the one I spotted yesterday morning closer to Elephant Rock. The pup was still in place on my return, being photographed by a dog walker who was a tad too close.
