Nestled in the picturesque village of Gweek on the Helford Estuary, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary is a heartwarming and educational destination for animal lovers of all ages.
As part of the Sea Life Trust, this sanctuary plays a vital role in rescuing and rehabilitating sick and injured seal pups found along the Cornish coastline.
Each year, the dedicated team cares for approximately 60–70 pups, providing them with expert medical attention and a safe environment to recover before being released back into the wild.

Dog Friendly
The Cornish Seal Sanctuary is dog friendly! There are a few areas where you can’t take dogs, such as the seal hospital, the safari bus and inside the cafe. But the rest of the park is dog friendly (on a lead please). There are plenty of water bowls around the site and even doggy treats at the reception.
Please check the Cornish Seal Sanctuary website for opening times and ticket prices.
