Seal pups need more rest than the adults so sometimes they rest on the beach and then meet up with their pod again later. I learned this when I encountered a lone seal pup on a beach in PTown and also tried to get help for it :)
So this little guy is likely just fine! But it never hurts to check!

Ah that’s comforting. Thank you! I learned something today.

You did the right thing!
Boston Animal Control is aware of the pup and like jtet93 said, it's probably just having a rest and ought to be left be.

Then I'll just regress, because I feel like I've made myself perfectly redundant.

It’s rare that you come into the comments and learn something hopefully and comforting.
I’m more accustomed to clicking on a picture of an adorable animal and learning of some “prions” level horror.
