Best Places To See The Seals In Norfolk

Our Beautiful Norfolk coastline is great all year round for wildlife & nature lovers with an abundance of walks, beaches & waterways to explore but did you know we also have one of the largest colonies of grey seals in the UK?

Over 3,500 seal pups were born along this coastline in 2023/24.

Horsey Beach, a stretch of sandy beach, is one of the best places to observe these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.

The breeding season runs from late October to February, however the seals can be seen all year round either swimming along the shoreline or basking on the beach.

Other popular places to visit are Winterton, Hunstanton & Blakney point with boat trips available and lovely coastal walks.

When visiting these beautiful animals, please be mindful these are wild animals and keep a distance of 10 meters.
