Cornish Seal Sanctuary

The SEA LIFE TRUST Cornish Seal Sanctuary is a magical place for visitors of all ages, from 0 to 100! Nestled on the beautiful Helford River, in Gweek, West Cornwall, the 40-acre site is home to resident Grey and Common seals, Icelandic rescue Puffins and Eurasian Beavers; each with their own unique story to tell.

The Sanctuary is a charity that rescues and rehabilitates grey seal pups from around the Cornish coastline. Each season (September - March), they rehabilitate around 70 seal pups that have been rescued for various reasons, from malnourishment to being separated from their mum.

Visit the Sanctuary to learn all about their Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release mission to help seals in need, and how we can protect these beautiful animals.
