Detailed answer
NOAA and DLNR recommend viewing from a distance: about 10 feet for sea turtles and 50 feet for Hawaiian monk seals. Give a monk seal mother and pup much more room. Do not disturb animals resting on the sand, and limit viewing to a few minutes. Use your camera's zoom instead of moving closer, because disturbing these animals can break state and federal law.
