Seal Found on North Wildwood Beach
January 8th 2019
On Sunday, January 6, a very special visitor came to the beaches of North Wildwood.
A gray seal was found sunning himself on the rocks early in the day, and it was initially thought he was merely enjoying the world-class, award winning beaches of North Wildwood.
Soon after, he rolled over and revealed some minor injuries, which may explain why he came ashore. Everyone knows how restorative a trip to the beach is here at the Shore, even the seals!
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center was notified and promptly arrived to check him out. After determining the injuries to be non-life threatening, he was transported to an undisclosed, remote beach where he was left to heal and return to the sea.
Word is he will be back on February 16 when Sam's Pizza reopens for 2019, celebrating its 61st season!
