A sudden colony of male sea lions has occupied San Carlos Beach this summer, prompting its closure. City officials monitor their unusual presence, typically lasting weeks.
City spokesperson Laurie Huelga indicates that this year, sea lions decided to settle at San Carlos Beach instead of their usual rocky sanctuary—possibly affecting tourist activities.
Officials stress that visitors should maintain distance when observing the sea lions, reminding everyone that human activities must coexist with wildlife protection under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
With sea lions resting and feeding near Cannery Row, local beaches are enforced as safe zones for marine animals, urging community awareness and respect for nature.
