This attraction offers a unique opportunity to observe seals in their natural habitat from a specially designed viewing point. Equipped with a telescope, visitors can get up close and personal with these marine mammals without disturbing them, allowing for a fascinating and educational experience.
Despite it being called a Seal Viewing Point, I visited this location with the expectation of not seeing any seals. Much to my surprise, there were 3. They were quite close to the telescope; if I had to approximate, I would say they were roughly 50 metres away. They were hunting as opposed to relaxing and they occasionally poked their heads out of the water. It's a very calm location with few visitors, if you enjoy nature & wildlife; you can easily lose 30 minutes here.
This is a great cove for seeing the seals. We saw 4 or 5 in total around 3.30pm in June just chilling by the rocks. The more we waited the more we saw. Pro tip :bring binoculars they may be far out, there is also a telescope cost PS1 to use. Coins only so make sure you have change The area is really nice and quiet you can just park on the verge hardly anyone else around. We explored and found a nice art gallery in a house with a welcoming artist called Margarita - would recommend looking it up she had some nice bits.
Limited parking options if you don't want to park into a passing place (which you shouldn't). Telescope costs one pound. View is stunning (including the drive there), but be aware of the midges when it's not windy.
Very cute spot to watch the seals! The telescope requires a PS1 coin to work. The seals are quite close though.
It's an adventure getting here as the 'road' twists and turns, is single track with passing bays and ridges you can't see over. All this to find the telescope, yes it is there, with half a dozen seals sunning themselves on the rocks. The place meets the description. Oh, and bring a PS1 coin if you want to use the telescope.
We discovered this place after finding a post online with not much detail. Now, after finding it; I have had it added to Google maps. We turned up and the seals were very close to the shore on a rock. Amazing... You don't need the telescope but if you want to use it it's PS1 for a short time use
