About Horsey Gap
Horsey Gap’s long sandy beach is home to one of the largest and most accessible grey seal colonies in the UK. All year round, seals can be spotted either swimming close to the shore or basking on the beach. Over 3,500 seal pups were born along this stretch of the coast in the 2024/2025 season. Seal pups start to arrive from late October and are on Horsey beach in great numbers during the winter seal pup season. During the seal pup season, (mid/end October to February), viewing is from the sand dunes and designated ‘viewing platforms’ only.
Horsey’s beautiful and uncrowded beach is great for relaxing on the shore, swimming in the shallow waters and watching the seals. From Horsey Gap there are also many beautiful walks both along the coast and inland. The parking at Horsey Gap‘s large beach car park is just a few minutes walk to the beach and the seals. Horsey Gap’s overflow car park is also close to Horsey beach, being just a short walk to the Horsey Gap car park and the extensive Horsey Dunes nature reserve which is within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
