Description

On a family vacation to Kaua'i, I was walking along Poipu Beach with my dad when he noticed a Hawaiian Monk Seal just lying around sunning itself. It stayed in the same spot for the entire afternoon, only moving to get away from the inward moving tide. Around 5 or 6, it flopped around and swam away. People were taking pictures of it all day, but it didn't seem to mind the paparazzi at all.
