The parking was great. Short walk on sand to the beach. The seals were there in all their glory! Hundreds and hundreds of them. Babies already gone but absolutely did not affect our enjoyment. The seal steward was very knowledgeable and friendly. Keeping a close eye on those stunning animals in their own habitat.

If you want to see seals without doing a boat trip, then this is the perfect place. We visited in March so no problem with parking at Horsey Gap. Bit of a climb up a sandy path but was worth the effort to see seals so close.

Seals shedding all over the beach, Kids loved it , was well worth the trip. Easy parking and lovey beach for a long walk. Seals are together in more than one location as you walked down from the car park access.

We had heard about the seals at Horsey Gap, but we all assumed, wrongly, that we would either not be lucky or see them from a distance. This was most definitely not the case! There must have been a good 50 on the beach, lazing around & soaking up the sun, & we were allowed to get relatively close, too! Such a worthwhile trip out. We went for a stroll along the beach, too. Even the 3 teenagers with us enjoyed themselves!

Fantastic morning. We parked in the car park and then walked onto the beach and saw lots of groups of seals on the beach. Incredible to watch for a while. Then went on to the sand dunes and had a good walk seeing them from above. Amazing.

Wow,wow Nature is really at it's best here. We had read to go and see the seals here.Had thought there may be one or two,there must have been several hundred. The beach was very quiet when we went.We were able to sit and observe the seals it was absolutely amazing. This really is a site not to be missed.

If you want to enjoy the seals in their natural habitat, this is the perfect place to be. We went in April during the Easter holidays and going by the past reviews we were not expecting to see many. However we were surprised to see a hugely colony of seals basking on the sands and occasionally taking a little trip to the water. Been a wonderful experience. The viewing point is just by the car park. There is a little climb up the sand dunes which is to the left of the entrance gate. We went on a late afternoon and we found the whole beach full of seals- hundreds of them- some playing, some fighting, few cosying and most of them taking a nap occasionally. Rather than taking boat trip, I recommend visiting this beach to see them up close and spend as much time you would like. Worth the experience.

We went at around 10am not expecting to see any seals at all but as soon as we walked over the dune from the carpark they were all there playing in the sea it was beautiful! There were lots and lots around it was quite magical. I can only imagine what it would be like early morning when they were all on the beach.

Lovely beach. We visited in July and on a blustery day. Clean beach and seals in the water enjoying the waves. Good for dog walking (on lead). Bumpy track down to the pay for parking. Worth a visit to Poppies cafe after.

Many reviews about people hoping to see seals but didn't, or only saw a handful in the sea. We saw literally hundreds. Here's the secret. When you go up the little sandy hill from the car park to the beach, turn right and walk along the beach for about 15 mins or so - about three or four sections of beach (there are these poles with a red bit a top in the sea spaced out - we walked to the third or fourth one on the right). There we saw hundreds of seals basking on the beach. I found this out by asking people coming off the beach as we arrived if they saw seals. Most were saying "we saw one or two in the sea" - which is what you can see if you don't walk too far to the right. I asked if they saw any on the beach. One guy was like "oh no, I don't expect you'll see any on the beach". A little later another guy told us to turn right and walk far down the beach where there are hundreds basking in the sun. We did and it was incredible. At one point they all simultaneously flocked into the sea together. It was really something to see. Definitely a memory my kids will have for life.
