👍👍 The ideal place to observe seals up close in the wild. When the tide goes out, the seals settle down on the sandbanks that form to sunbathe. ABSOLUTELY WORTH SEEING. People often mention seals, tide,

    Great morning walks with amazing sunrise. The area is very well kept and 5min away from the city center. The low tide, shows some much things. I loved it.

    First... You have to get here at low tide! If you do, it will be an amazing experience to watch the seals at about 50m away.

    Great place to watch seals at low tide. These are on the very close sandbank, which only comes out at low tide. You should also pay attention to the spectacle in this bay between high and low tide.

    Beautiful place best visited out of season. Sadly otherwise you will spend hours sat in traffic trying to get there

    Great view of seal beds. Great view over the bay. Unfortunately no catering.

    The spectacle of how the bay fills and empties with the tides is fascinating, plus the seals and harbor seals that can be observed up close in their natural habitat. A place where it never gets boring at any time of the day and probably also of the year!
