This is the perfect spot to catch Norfolk seals. Between November to about February hundreds of grey seals breed here. If you’re in the area around this time, then you have to catch the magnificent and forever-memorable sight.

Hiking

Lots of seals on the beach, if you want to take good photos then avoid Horsey Gap as the beach is guarded by guards and prevents you from getting closer. Besides, the place is always full of people.

Hiking

Be sure to keep dogs under control and on a lead. Lots of seals along various parts of the beach. The route we took involved a short steep climb over the sand a sand dune to access the beach and the seals were there at the other side.

Nice long beach and great to see British wildlife up close. Obviously don’t get up too close and scare them.
