Nine-year-old Corale Olsen was out in the water at Asilomar State Beach during surf camp with her brother and sister when they noticed a sea lion.
Moments later, the animal lunged at her.
“It was right next to me, and I was like ‘Oh my gosh, something really bad is going to happen.’ Then it just bit me,” said Corale. “It was pain, and then I was screaming.”

People walking along Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove are noticing some strange looking sea creatures.
They are something called pyrosomes…and a specialist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium explains exactly what they are and what we need to know.
In broad daylight. Can take your eyes off the waves or the beachgoers these days.

Weather started getting rough and the tiny ship was tossed.
Five people had to be helped to shore Saturday morning by lifeguards after they abandoned their boat at Asilomar State Beach in Monterey County.
According to the Monterey Fire Department, they received reports of a group of people attempting to paddle their motorboat back out to sea at around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, but due to winds and high surf they gave up their attempt and exited the boat.
They ended up stuck on a rock outcropping in the Pacific Ocean about 10 feet away from land.
Hope they double disinfected it. Could be bad for business knowing that a collection of coronavirus victims were sequestered there.
“Asilomar was the first facility to shut down in March of 2020 when the governor decided to house the passengers of the Princess Cruise Ship Discovery at the grounds,” said Moe Ammar, the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce president.
The conference grounds reopened twice since the beginning of the disruption to business due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Asilomar Conference Grounds Is Open To Non Infected Visitors
Like, carry a gun in coyote country.
“I hear this barking and it just sounds like you’re a normal dog. So I looked behind me and I said to you, OK, there’s a dog up there. And I’m like, it’s not really dog, is it?” Lindsey said.
“And next thing I know the coyote is coming from the rocks all the way down down to the beach.”
Duke and Lindsey start walking down the beach while she is still calling for Duke to continue moving forward away from the coyote.
Lindsey said, “We got about 10 yards away and I look over and the coyote is parallel with me, probably about six feet away. And that’s when I realized he wasn’t necessarily after me. But he was stalking Duke.”
Lindsey said this went on for about five minutes and a good distance down Asilomar. She kept an eye over her shoulders until the coyote was out of her sight.
“I watched him all the way down to the other end of the rocks and he actively stood there standing his ground, barking, not even howling, just barking like your average dog,” Lindsey said.
Don’t need a riot on the beach.
State officials on Wednesday said they will not disclose whether 21 patients housed at Asilomar Hotel and Conference Center in Pacific Grove have tested positive for the coronavirus, but are saying those individuals are highly isolated from the public and that the concern should be focused on the people who have the virus and are walking freely around the county.
Officials from the California Office of Emergency Services on Wednesday refused to say whether the Asilomar patients had tested positive, only that they were not sick enough for hospitalization. They did not return voicemails or emails requesting comment.
Monterey County District 5 Supervisor Mary Adams, who represents Pacific Grove, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has specific criteria for sites that can be used for quarantines. She said that’s why the state chose Asilomar to quarantine the passengers.
“Asilomar, a state-owned facility, is one of the places that was identified,” Adams said. “So as the people up in Oakland were trying to parse out all of the folks around the state to different places, each one going to a spot that was the right level of care for them, there were people who were identified that should be able to come and stay at Asilomar.”
Local politicos remind us that they did not invite or volunteer to take in the passengers. Might be bad for elections.
Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake said state officials informed City Manager Ben Harvey Tuesday afternoon.
“The city was not part of any decision-making process to bring people to Asilomar,” he said. “We learned of this after the fact, pretty much at the same time the public learned that the state had decided to bring people to Asilomar.”
