Seal watching depends on coast, tide and distance
DULIN helps compare seal places with nearby beaches, lighthouses, viewpoints, campsites, roads and weather exposure so a coastal stop fits the route even when wildlife is distant.
Keep well back from seals, never approach pups, do not block the route to the sea, avoid drones and loud behavior, and be careful with surf, tide, slippery rocks and soft sand.
