Cronulla Beach in Sydney's south has become a temporary, and quite unusual home for a young seal.

The Sub-Antarctic fur seal was found wandering on North Cronulla Beach this morning.

It spent the day sleeping in the sun, as wildlife officers camped nearby to ensure no one gets too close.

Experts say the seal is a long way off course and looking a little thin, but otherwise fine.
