Sea Lions Overrun Monterey's San Carlos Beach

Hundreds of sea lions have closed San Carlos Beach to the public, captivating onlookers with their unexpected presence.

Local officials have restricted access to the beach for safety and conservation reasons.
The sea lions are predominantly male and likely attracted by the area's rich food supply.
Experts believe the marine mammals will remain at the beach for three to four weeks.
The U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits disturbing the sea lions.
Residents and visitors are advised to observe the animals from a safe distance.
