Bring the family for a day at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and learn about our work to ensure the safety and wellbeing of seals around Cornwall’s coastline.
Based in Gweek, commanding panoramic views of the Helford River, the sanctuary is dedicated to seal rescue, rehabilitation and release, as well as raising awareness of how plastic pollution has affected our marine life in Cornwall and also provides a forever home to animals needing permanent specialist care from our team of experts.
Meet the rescued seal pups going through rehabilitation during pup season in the winter, before being returned to the wild. See and hear about the resident animals and learn about their stories. Explore woodland walks with your four- legged friends, and grab a bite to eat at the café
