We were completely trapped on the beach access stairs at La Jolla Cove! 😱 We stayed up on the steps specifically to keep our mandatory legal distance from the wildlife, but these two teen sea lions decided they wanted to use the stairs too! Total chaos broke out at the front of the line as everyone had to scramble to clear the way. Always remember that these are wild animals—they go wherever they want! 🦭🌊
