Plenty of seals to see depending on the season. During an early winter morning on an ebb tide, I counted at least 50-60+. Couldn't tell whether they were common or grey, but grey seals breed in winter on the east coast, so that is the best time to spot them. Can easily be viewed from the Flamborough Head public footpath, without disturbing them.

There are some seals here, but not as many as in Horsey gap.
