Beachgoers are being warned to keep their distance from an elephant seal moulting near the Oak Bay Marina.

Early Wednesday morning, a seal climbed onto the seawall along Beach Drive by Queens Park and plopped itself along the boulevard.

Oak Bay Police and Fisheries Oceans Canada attended the scene and, with enough helping hands, safely guided the seal back onto the beach. “Yeah, we feel this one we’ve seen, several times actually, it’s moved around a little bit,” says Mya Cormie, a field supervisor with the DFO.Oak Bay residents are welcoming their newest neighbour with open arms, and some tell CHEK News it goes by the name Emerson.
