This harp seal stopped to sunbathe, roll in the sand and nap in Kill Devil Hills on Monday morning. Seals are common winter “tourists” along local beaches, with more than two dozen taking a break on the Outer Banks since December.

If you spot one resting on the beach, be sure to keep at least 150 feet distance. Click here to read more about Outer Banks’ seal visits.
