There are a lot of seals swimming along the beaches here on Cape Cod. We saw this seal at Coast Guard Beach. He was only about 15-20 feet from shore.
And when there are seals swimming so close to shore, you always have to be aware of a possible shark nearby, as their diet is seals. There seems to be a lot of shark activity on Cape Cod this summer.
That face! He looks tired of evading sharks!
I am panning a visit to Cape Cod in Sept 2018 and am happy to see that the seals are still there at that time.
