With luck you can watch the seals on the sandbank from the beach. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE SANDBANK!!!!! We give the animals enough space

If you're lucky, you can watch the seals without disturbing them!
Take your binoculars with you...

Binoculars are worthwhile here. Too cute how the little ones move on.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to see any seals during our holiday in September. Even binoculars didn't help us. Locals told us that the seals have almost completely disappeared from this sandbank because the conditions are no longer ideal. Still, a wonderful backdrop!
