Visit Horsey Beach
Horsey Beach, on the Norfolk coast, is a stunning and unspoiled sandy beach known for its natural beauty and wildlife, particularly its seal population.
Backed by one of the largest sand dune systems on the east coast of England, it’s perfect for those looking to escape crowded tourist spots. The beach is often deserted outside of the summer season, allowing visitors to enjoy a peaceful experience. Even during peak times, it’s easy to find a quiet spot.
The beach is particularly famous for its grey seal colony. From late October to February, seals come ashore to give birth, with the peak season occurring from November to January. Visitors can often see hundreds of seals on the beach during this time, making it one of the best locations in Norfolk for seal watching.
There are designated viewing areas to observe the seals without disturbing them, ensuring a safe experience for both the animals and visitors
The beach is dog-friendly, but dogs should be kept on leads, especially during the seal pupping season to avoid disturbing the seals.
