Monk Seal Action on Poipu Beach
April 19th, 2009 | Posted by Pauline
We have been on Kauai, Hawaii for the past week and are having a great time going for walks, swimming, exploring the island. Today it is raining so I had time to make this action-packed (not!!) video.
The monk seals beach themselves on the beaches in Poipu and spend the whole day sleeping. They are protected, so as soon as they settle in for a nap, someone puts a rope fence around them so that people cannot get close. Sometimes they take up half the beach! They are fun to watch, but not much happens.

I laughed watching this video. They really do have quite a life! I was lucky to watch one come out of the water once. He would move an inch, rest, move an inch, rest….
Once he found a spot for the day, he rarely moved again. Glad you were able to see seals and turtles while in Kauai :)
