SKN Sea lion comes ashore ... Stirs excitement at Darkwood Beach

ST. JOHN, Antigua – A sea lion that somehow came ashore on Darkwood Beach created quite a stir among residents of the area yesterday afternoon. The unfamiliar scene drew curious onlookers from nearby villages and from around the island to the popular beach as an effort was mounted some hours after to get it safely back into the water. The first sighting of the creature took place early in the morning, when one resident reportedly saw a strange bobbing object moving toward the shore. The excitement was about to begin. The seal, after it came to shore, managed to clamber on to the protective wall that runs along a significant portion of the beach creating quite a scene as traffic virtually came to a standstill.Sun St.Kitts Nevis
